I second that. (Or, if I don't that is propably because my english makes me
misunderstand "second that" ;-).

I feel sorry to say that again, but I tried to work in that direction in my
proposal
earlier (the code on EmacsWiki). I did work a bit more on that, merging it
with the current CVS code, but I have not uploaded that. It is however by no
means finished. The idea has mainly been to hide part of the interface that
seems unusual. They should be turned on if the user wants them. Examples of
this are the state buttons. I also restructured the GUI a bit.

It seems easy to add the new ideas that we tend to more and more agree on.
But Luc has pointed out it we should leave it to next release. I tend to
agree, since I see new points are surfacing.
