What is the target display width for your design?

We may have users that are using 800 pixel width CRT monitors.

So whatever you design to be on the side panel, the work space that the 
use will be doing the typing and editing in must be wide enough for them 
to "efficiently" work with the document file.

When I was working with the display withs under 1024 pixels, I found 
many packages that were not designed to be easily used with the smaller 
width display/monitors.  I have some that do notwork with any display 
that are less than 800 pixels high, let alone a narrow width.  There 
bottom buttons were not accessible.

So please think about the users we may have that need a package UI that 
work well and easy with a 800 pixel wide CRT display or similar limiting 
with display.
