Comment:

 Good idea. Probably the simplest way to implement this is to auto-expand a
 section upon expanding a panel if the panel only has one section in it.
 Likewise, when collapsing such a section, the panel could also be
 collapsed so that the user wouldn't ever land on a panel that has only one
 section in it.

 Another possibility would be to eliminate the Widgets panel entirely in
 this case, and let the widget's sidebar be a root section. This may have
 some unintended consequences however and it would require some R&D.
