Building UI as a sidebar

I find the Building UI window to be in the way a lot, especially after I center on an object. I propose that the Building UI window be converted into a dockable side bar, that can collapse to the side if need be. This would alter the "Center point" of the view port so that it subtracted the side the UI is hanging on to from the center calculation. In other words, centering on an object wouldn't center in the center of the window, it would center in the center of the viewport area (area not covered by th UI). As it is when I focus on a prim or a part of my build some if it can end up under the build window (i run SL in a smallerish window so my Dock doesn't anger it, and so that I can help my measely FPS get back up (AGP AGP AGP AGP AGP).

If I haven't made myself clear let me know, I'll try to explain again. I think the UI could do with some overhauling. The new pretty buttons are nice, but functionally it needs some more work. Thanks for your time!
