Hopefully, that would be more obvious than the current situation.  It
would be usable and the people who adjust things would adjust things to
suit, rather than panic-ing when their address disappears.  

A *non* integer pane size would be more obvious.  Two and a lines look
very different from two or three.  It is more striking than the
difference between two and three.
