[jsword-devel] Another big checkin

[DM Smith]

I noticed a couple of problems.

Hyperlinking to Strongs does not work from KJV w/ Strongs.

Blurring does not work right. I had not used blur from the right hand 
pane before, as I used the menu (where it no long is found). I can get 
used to the change. For accessibility reasons (i.e. for those that 
don't/can't use a mouse, having menu options is really helpful).

Other than that it looks pretty solid. I will be doing some regression 
testing to see if I find anything else.

See below for feedback.

Looks better and redraws faster on a slow machine.

Better use of real estate. Can see more at a time. This will be better 
when, the dictionaries and commentaries are more fully integrated into 
the program (as is listed for post 1.0 in bugs.txt).

I have code which makes the tool bar a user option. Again, having a 
toolbar is good for accessibility. I personally don't like them as they 
take up too much real estate.
