Why do you think that "sidebars" should be implemented in a way that
they can't be run on different platforms?

As MDI is windows only, it shouldn't be used at all!
As soon as someone starts to include something platform specific,
Dabo can't be called platform independent any more.

I don't think there should be exceptions to this rule.
