To bad, this didn't work out so nicely. It was a neat (uncommon?)
feature to me although I don't have a widescreen monitor (which were the
main requestors for this IIRC).

Wasn't the plan to ditch the sidepane approach in eog-ng because it was
taking precious screen space? Maybe plugins could just reuse the
properties dialog. I can currently only think of one place where this
wouldn't be so nice: a directory browser plugin.
