What I like about the ContextPane is that it provides a unified
interface for all the extra information on the currently playing
music. If the current implementation is not perfect, well, let's
improve it! For example the pane could be changed to attach to any
side of the window, auto-hide/expand, resize, etc.

That would be a great feature. But again, the context pane is visible
even in the Now Playing source ;)
