A stream of consciousness look at starting up the latest e4 i-build...

   initial layout looks odd; editor area is about 2" wide
   why is this called the Java perspective? with the "E4 Model" view on the
   right, it clearly isn't; maybe label it "e4"?
   having the "E4 Model" view there (and the associated stack underneath
   it) is cool, but it should have a different color (or something) to
   distinguish it's "metaness" from the rest of the views; would also be
   good if you could close it
   still seeing 2 Run menus and 2 Design menus; 2nd Run menu has (just) 2
   "Breakpoint Types" items
   on the mac, it doesn't look like I'm getting any CSS styling
   tried dragging Outline view somewhere more useful; didn't work, so I
   tried using the "E4 Model' view to do it:
      first attempt: into the left hand stack, but dropped in the wrong
      place and ended up with the Outline view as its own perspective
      (that's both cool and weird)
      second attempt: into the "stickyRight" stack; seemed to work, but
      then I couldn't figure out how to make it visible
   opened the "CVS Repository Exploring" perspective
      checked out the e4 projects, said run in background, then realized I
      could no longer see progress
      tried "show view" -> other -> Progress, but nothing appeared to
      happen
      clicked back on Java perspective and saw Progress view visible and
      updating
   exited and restarted; noticed that I had lost all of the perspective and
   layout changes
