I'd love to see a group command where anything within the group maintains
its relative spacing from other items whilst the bottom and right edges
move to fill the resized window.  The Panorama database has this type of
resizing from memory - called elastic layouts I think.

Mind you, I'd be happy to just see a group command to make it easier to
moves groups of objects around.  While I'm at it, I'd also like to see a
true 'Lock' function (ala page layout programs) where an item (like a tab
panel or whatever) could be locked in place and not accidentally moved - one
of the most annoying things I've found when  creating an interface.

cheers

Kim
