I have line numbering swiched on despite losing a fair few pixels of valuable screen 
real-estate.  I then realised that there is little reason to not combine the line 
numbering with the breakpoint/icon bar beside it.  Here's what I mean:

o With line numbers off, the breakpoint bar appears as it does now, showing 
breakpoints, bookmarks etc.

o With line numbers on, the breakpoint bar is widened to accomodate the numbering and 
appears as wide as the line numbering bar does now.
    - Line numbers are shown in the widened breakpoint bar.
    - Any icons are drawn over/instead of the numbering for that line.  There's enough 
uniconed lines surrounding to easily work out the line number.
    - Alternatively a) the icons could be overlaid semi-transparently or b) the line 
number could be drawn whole beside the icon but in a smaller font.

I think this would give the benefits of line numbering without the space penalty.

Paul.
