Hi Uli,

I even haven't thought about this before! You're plain right: it seems
rather odd to be able to hide such a control. You've totally convinced
me now; this is not a common think to provide. (Note: Didn't
Calculator on Panther provide such a thing? I can't verify, but I do
remember it has buttons in a drawer… maybe not default, though.)

Cameron & Uli, I can't agree more… now ;) !

Here, I thought of a 3rd possibility: my inexperience with AppKit :( !
(And sometimes, I imagine a 4th one: framework-based bugs ;) ! But
that's definitely not the case here…)

Don't worry ;) !

Actually, I joined it when you announced it here recently; but, I have
to confess I've unsubscribed since then… b/c it seems to be a little
too abstract for me. Perhaps I'll change my mind since there's still
some little things I could have learnt there ;) !
Bye Uli, and thanks for the time you took to clear some things here :) !
