Layout change, next take

[Seb Ruiz]

I know this has all been said before, but we have to realise that this  
is a very drastic change to the UI.  I am a little uncertain about the  
necessity of such a massive change. For me, I think there still needs  
to be a good deal of work done before we can release this.  The  
previous layout was very good because it was a very mature style - we  
need to work on this more substantially.  Eg, columns should be of  
equal width and height.  (the no-playing-song tab comes to mind.)

Also, do we really still need the ettrich intro?
