Yes.  I agree.  You would need a HUGE monitor for this :).

Either that or a setup with multiple 17" LCD panels each setup on XFree86
running Xinerama (druel......)

This would be a lot of work though.  The ECB is very stable now IMO.

The speedbar buffer has a really good right click menu which allows you to
change the settings on the current view.

I would support a similar mechanism for the ECB
