Hmm, I not too much imho (but hey, I made it ;) But I really think we
need a different scheme than just basic and advanced. Just having basic
and advanced is _so_ arbitrary. Of course, the ideal solution to that
problem is let the user configure which widgets are on which page.

Having those frames around for extra grouping might indeed be nice.
Seems to me you placed them rather arbitrarily though. I'd think you'd
want to put similar widgets together in one frame.
I think identifying the pages with icons is a bad idea, since it
is not at all clear what kind of things are on which page.

I don't think widgets will ever be easy to find if your main goal is
sticking as many of them on one page.
how about: (not the best names I guess, but the main point is their
content)
- constructive (contains toplevel and container widgets)
this would have two frames, one for toplevels, and one for containers
(or maybe three, splitting up the containers in some way)
- data entry (anything in which the user can enter data)
- ui control (everything else (buttons, scrollbars, menubar, etc))
