I tried that and didn't like it. For a series of pictures it destroys
and creates the window for each one instead of just resizing the window.
All that flashing is very annoying. Plus the fact that you have to give
an option to tell it to shutup about what it's doing.

The moment you try to tear it down, everybody protests; and the
point to which I wish to call particular attention here is that
those who protest always appear at first glance to be in the
right, because it is easier to show the disorder that must
accompany reform than the order that should follow it.
