Re: [Usability] sidebar vs "side pane"

["Eugene O'Connor" <Eugene Oconnor Sun COM>]

Thanks. I think "side pane" is the best name for this component. 

It is usually better to name a component by its function rather than its 
location. It seems the function of this component has a lot to do with 
navigation, so you might also want to consider "navigation pane". 

However, more functionality may be added to the pane which is not related 
to navigation.

On the whole, I would recommend "side pane" for Galeon.

If you're interested, here is where the discussion about the naming of this 
component in Nautilus took place:
