If someone writes the widget I will add it;))

Letīs see...X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service(what ever that is) or
X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0us;) I guess you donīt Netscape that often, do you? I
found it pretty soon.

Hmm, I think you canīt really compare that as kicker scrolls the buttons
whereas Netscape adds/removes the rightmost item. But the left ones
allways stay in their place(only resize a little) Furthermore weīd be
free to exchange the meaning of the arrows:) Or replace them by +/-,
better IMO.

DnD the columnheaders?

What is just a matter of storing the position in a config file ?

Write it below the name:) Perhaps in a somewhat unobtrusive color so
that wonīt confuse too much.
I will try it out, itīs on my ToDo list.
