Hi Dana,

I guess you are talking about the left hand navigation. That's not
strictly the same as canvas view; this is the ability to maximize
gadgets.

I agree with you that there should still be the option to revert to
the current (soon to be former) layout with the tabs at the top.
However, I don't really agree with your point about wasted space. With
widescreen monitors becoming increasingly common I think it makes
sense to make more use of horizontal space.

Perhaps it would be a nice idea to be able to collapse the left hand
nav? Like in Google Maps. This would maybe keep everyone happy?
