Chris, I highly recommend trying out Lorenzo's package. It IS usable, as long
as you don't fiddle with the docking legend. If you undock and redock it, the
scrollbar works. Don't resize it, since it doesn't rescale when docking, and
don't use the sash. The rest of the system seems stable. I don't have data to
reproduce the classification error Lorenzo notes.
