I've noticed on slashdot and the mozillazine forums that everyone asks how to get rid of the sidebar. Even though there's a menu item in View, no one seems to be able to find it! Rather than getting frustrated at stupid users, there should be some easy way for people to turn the sidebar off. Options include: * Ask if they want a sidebar when they set up a profile * A small text message in the sidebar itself describing how to close it * A big red X somewhere in the sidebar that does the equivalent of View | Sidebar.
