Switch screens? Some us use a vertical buttons window permanently 
(which is much more efficient on a widescreen display).

Speaking from my own mind here, if you want to do things your own way, 
use your own tree. If you want to contribute to the bf project then try 
to be co-operative and work in a team with the rest of us. The panels 
are here, whether you personally like them or not and they already 
allow the flexibility of horizontal or vertical layouts. I recommend 
you either take a few minutes to put them in panels yourself, or find 
someone to jointly help you do it, before committing anything. It's not 
fair to just commit bits and pieces and expect others to clean up after 
you

I'd second that it would be extremely useful. Using background scenes 
is not up to the task when you want to quickly switch the selectability 
of objects on or off.

Means the objects in the scene appear in your render. You can sort of 
work around this functionality currently using the locking layers to 
scene, but it's confusing and a pain to work with.

Cheers,
