Hey guys.
A light just went on in my head about something I just saw on reddit.
Here is the post:
http://blogs.gnome.org/mortenw/2009/01/21/the-gtk-file-chooser-dialog/

As you can see, when the window gets scaled, the relevant widget (File
picker) gets sized to obscurity while the buttons are fine.

Then compare it to this neat edje interface:
http://www.amsn-project.net/~kakaroto/edje/amsn2-v4.mpeg
This is amsn2 as some of you might know. You can see how when the size
of the window gets too small, the less relevant widgets get minimised
out. This still make the dialog functional and relevant.

So I got thinking, if we had added a 'widget relevance' parameters to
some of the widgets in dialogs, we could put this effect into
practice. It would make neater dialogs at smaller sizes but also make
more powerful dialogs at bigger sizes. You could even make a
configurator to make the widgets a set relevance level so they stay.

I know its just more code and more work, but it could be something to
put into EWL, ETK or Elementary and save for E18 or EFL 2.0.
