Sidebar again and again...

OK, here's my opinion: I think that Sidebar violates Google Software
Principles (http://www.google.com/corporate/software_principles.html)
"CLEAR BEHAVIOR" paragraph.

<cite>
Applications that affect or change your user experience should make
clear they are the reason for those changes. For example, if an
application opens a window, that window should identify the application
responsible for it. Applications should not intentionally obscure
themselves ... [cut]
</cite>

First sentence applies to Sidebar. It affects user experience (MY
experience!) by resizing windows already opened by me. Personally I'm
not sure if it is clear that there's reason to behave like that. Very
clearly for me is that I cannot turn it off. And that's why I call
Sidebar "misbehaving" and I don't use it.

So: give me an option to turn Sidebar from "desktop space thief" to
normal, well-behaving window. Please.
