Hm, don't really like that. Putting the DataView in the lower right
corner has several disadvantages: it's small and for worse it's slowing
down object browsing, which contradicts the intention. The Query Tool
doesn't belong logically into that corner, actually it can be regarded
separated from the browsing tree at all (and it needs its separate
menu). So I think it's best the way it is now, and Borland just tried to
marry everything into one window, if it belongs together or not.
