Yeah, I guess a decent amount of this is personal preference. I
wouldn't call myself a pixel-nazi, but I do prefer less 'whitespace' in
general.
As it turns out, the WM Tweaks dialog didn't grow too much as I feared;
it looks pretty decent. The scrollbar on the compositor tab will save
people on low-res screens, though we *really* need to figure out how to
get it to autosize to full-height if space is available, cuz it looks
really dumb as-is.
