Hi,
it sounds like Patrick Ohly's "[Evolution-hackers] custom labels"
discussion [1] from this year's spring. That's much more work than
just replace custom widgets with a stock expander.
See thread [1] for more details.
But, if Christian will be willing to dive into it, then I'm all for it
and I'll be glad to help him.
Bye,
Milan
