I need to switch the default behavior from the red border mechanism to
a more generalized styling mechanism - all the pieces are in place, and
the new way will fix a scrolling bug from the red border's widget
hierarchy manipulations.  Will try and find time to do it asap.

Yes.  So when you right click on the pane dividers you get the super
secret hidden "Free layout" menus, I /hope/ you knew about those :-)

You can save as many layouts as you want, hmm, I see because the
free-layout plugin is compulsory low level core now, it doesn't show up
in the Plugins menu, so you can't see its docs. there.  Never mind, the
docs. don't say much, I was just trying to find the name of this
command:  free-layout-load - pops up a context menu for switching
layouts, same as the right click on the pane dividers context menu
"Load Layout".
