Larry,
It looks and works the same on Linux, haven't tested it on MacOSX
The part I like the best is that you can un-pin (minimize) panels and then
have them so they auto hide/show when you mouse over the minimized icon. So
this is great on a single monitor system as you can have your map full
screen and minimze your layer panel. Then when you want to change the layers
you just mouse over it pops up, you do your stuff, mouse out and it hides.
When it does this it is ontop of the map rather than resizing it.
