Someone asked, a couple of weeks back, what your next wishlist item
would be.

For me, the ability to define screens of any size, and run dclerk in
any size window, with appropriate autoscrolling as you move around,
would be pretty high.

Can you cause degenerate situations?  Sure.

Is it the development toolkit's job to *protect* me, the developer from
that?  Hell no.

Would a manual knob to enable it be useful?  Why not.
