Okay, yeah, this might be closer to what we're looking for. We're going to have to work through two things first. One problem is backgrounds. Backgrounds are normal elements. The width of a background should go under the scrollbar. But the width of a flow should not. You know, if you have a tiling background, you want it to tile through the gutter. It occurs to me though that normal canvases default to REL_CANVAS positioning and backgrounds default to REL_TILE positioning (this is in shoes/ruby.c.) So I could make the rule that elements with REL_TILE positioning don't get an automatic gutter. Yeah, I think this could work! _why
