Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-10-10 22:20:04 EDT 
You can resize panes so that they essentially disappear. When you drag the right edge
of a leftmost pane completely to the left, it is very hard to get that pane back. You have to
aim at one pixel to the right of the left window egde.
If you forget that (and where) you made a pane disappear, you might think that something
is broken, e.g. if the editor pane has disappeared and double-clicking on a text file does
nothing.
What about a non-zero minimum size for panes?
