	where/how do i open a feature request? bugzilla?

	since the main benefit of the palette view is that you don't have the 
dead real-estate of the collapsed flyout, i'm guessing that the need 
will go away if the suggestion i made gets incorporated. especially if 
the "tab-only-collapsed-flyout" can be implemented. just a thinner 
flyout may not be enough (the bulk of the height is still 
non-interactive real estate).

	it would certainly be worth asking clients why they wanted a  palette 
view in the first place. maybe i'm wrong and there's another reason.

thx,
