I'll give it a look then. But ... wasn't that in the original StarOffice, or am
i confuddled again?

Something vaguely similar was in StarOffice.  The current implementation however comes from Symphony.  In any case anyone is curious,  Sun licensed Openoffice.org code to IBM a long time back (they could do this because Sun mandated a copyright assignment for all external contributions) and IBM developed Symphony as a proprietary fork.  Now that Oracle has donated the codebase to Apache on the request of IBM,  IBM has stopped Symphony and is contributing to Apache Openoffice instead.    Libreoffice which is a fork of the original Openoffice.org ( before the Oracle donation to Apache) is developing its own changes but continuing to cherry pick some features from Apache Openoffice.org and the sidebar happens to be one of those features.
