I have been moving in the same direction in the last days.

If the main function of the window 'body' under the menu bar
is to have a nice size drag + drop area, let's on its look + feel
for that. As for the size of this window: just wide enough to fit
the menubar for the running localisation,height of the window,
1/4 or 1/3rd of the width, some nice proportion.

Forget about the slider, please. It belonged to another strategy,
another time, another place...
