Very smart.
I've tried it with Firefox and IE. The only issue I noticed was with
IE:
When you scroll to the bottom of an internal windows with the scroll
wheel then the sidebar continues scrolling when the internal window has
stopped. This is probably and IE issue.

A desktop in the browser; Nifty!

Very Impressive Indeed :-)

goose,
very much like a smalltalk-ish implementation.

Slick. One thing that you might want to do is catch the onselect event,
so text doesn't get selected when you drag the window around.
