  Indeed.  We probably need some icon there, like in Mozilla.  Although,
this has the slight advantage that you can hide by clicking anywhere,
while in Mozilla you have to click on the arrow at the center of the
handle.

  I think it's just setting the size to the minimum; i.e. the size
requested by its children...  Which is the only thing it can do, as it's
trying to be polite and not forceably hide a user-provided widget.

  This is actually one more reason why the current approach is no good.
As far as I am concerned, it currently qualifies as a Bad Hack.  :-)
