Comment (by _ck_):

 By the way, I've successfully tested a method to re-order these "widgets"
 (divs) by applying jquery.ui.sortable to them.

 It's as simple as applying a class to each widget, wrapping the main wider
 column on the left with one div and the sidebar with another div. Needs 3
 small jquery.ui libraries.

 Then you can move the widgets up and down or even from the main column to
 the sidebar and back.

 Only thing I don't have ready is a way to save the positions, which could
 be done via cookies like wordpress.com or via ajax as the open/closed
 method is currently done in the trunk. That part's a bit harder and I
 wanted to wait to hear if this was interesting.
