Cute idea, but it makes the box a lot bigger. If someone's making a lot of
tables and wants to keep the window open, it makes more clutter.
What I wonder is why there's a slider at all. Why not just have fields for 2
numbers? That way people can type it in. (Or at least make the number field
typable so you can use mouse or typing. If you used both, of course, then the
slider would have to move when you typed something.)
This of course applies for teh Insert Table popup too. We wouldn't want to be
inconsistent.
