I thinking about a more radical restructuration, like having each widget on
a line (pixmap next to its name).  A bit like what other RADs do.

While we're at it, a restructuration of the placement of the widget would
also be desirable, but of passing from a random placement to another
(probably saner) placement, I would like to just put the items in
alphabetical order.

I'm not yet sure, however, that it's a good idea...

Cheers,
