modeline hscroll

dv> people objected that it is not very practical to scroll the dv> modeline with the mouse, as it also might resize the window if dv> you move the mouse vertically. What's wrong with dividing the modeline into parts that are left-right sensitive at the ends (but don't resize windows), and up-down sensitive in the middle (but doesn't scroll the modeline)? More precisely, I find that natural (eg, that's basically the way WindowMaker works); do others find it unnatural? Implementation difficulty is a different question. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 /* What's the big deal about the millennium? ............................. ....
