	I will take a look at this.

	This is one thing I would like have implemented. I can try to make it 
work. Some weeks ago Will was moving to a new appartment, since then I have 
not heard of him.

	Do you mean resizable by user hand (using the mouse)? Last night I found 
that the m_leftWidget object is not updating its size when their contents 
increase in size. I commited a change to trunk to force it to update its size, 
it is working good here and solve the "back" button problem too.
