[Bf-funboard] Re: UI consistency for "stackable stuff"

[Roland Hess]

As long as this part of the UI is getting a grilling here, these sorts 
of stacks really ought to be drag-n-drop for rearranging. I mean, web 
interfaces have that now for crying out loud. The "push this button to 
move item up a level" method is so html/cgi. Working with the texturing 
"stack" makes me grit my teeth. Unify and update.
