It'd also be nice to have a few preset layouts that users can try. For
instance, one that gives you the "Amarok 1.4" layout, with context and
media sources tabbed and playlist on its own. (Even better if we can
also adjust the playlist layout this way.) Then if users complain about
not liking the 2.x layout, instead of saying, "well, you can unlock the
view, then drag around..." we could simply say View->Layouts->Amarok 1.4
