Re: [Gnumed-devel] 2 vs 3 column paradigm.

[Richard Terry]

The issue is not one of re-sizing. Of course the user should be able to 
resize screen components to suit their own needs.

The issue is more of keeping the visual paradigm clean with the ability 
to  optimally display data within compartments, as the screen dumps show.

BTW Horst, if you read this I'd be interested to see your screens, but 
as you know I've not got gnumed running on my machine anymore. Will your 
screens just run using python? with no backend? If not, can you supply 
some quick screen dumps.
