Not that I really care what looks nicer to you personally...
As I mentioned in my other reply, I'm not really looking to have
"several documents open" (but only look at one of them) so a tabbed
notebook is no use at all. And re-sizeable panes are all very well but
rather limited to showing things side-by-side. What I want is to allow
the user to define a group of stuff in one box, another group of stuff
in a second box, and a different way of looking at other stuff in a
third, then have the ability to say "no, actually, I think I want that
third box at the top, and the other two side by side below it". So
resizing just doesn't cut the mustard.
