Well to be honest both 92171 and 96543 were languishing. And we'd had no input
from the Dmaths.org club, or regards the TexMaths extension (though I've added
both Dieter and Roland here).

General HIG for the Sidebar is here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/SideBar

Kind of agree with Roman that a start should be to just get the menu
configuration controls for Math into the right attached Sidebar for starters. 
Rework of the left side Elements pane panels, and the formula box is much more
involved and can follow later.

Here is the comment from bug 92171 OP arguing that the function of elements
panels in Math need to be moved into the Sidebar structure:

"This is an enhancement request.

The sidebar of Math differs from other LibO component sidebar. In Writer, Calc,
Draw, etc, the different elements of the sidebar are accessible through a
button. On the other hand, the Math sidebar has a dropdown menu, with its
different elements only in text form.

This makes searching for a specific element in the Math sidebar more tedious
than the navigation through the sidebar of the rest of the components. The
number of clicks to search for an option in Math is doubled with respect to the
other scheme: in Math, you first must select the dropdown button, then click
again the corresponding option. With the scheme in the rest of the LibO apps,
only one click in the corresponding button is necessary.

My proposal is to have an element disposition of the Math sidebar analogue to
the rest of the components of LibO. That is, buttons with a descriptive icon at
right."

With that I think it all has been consolidated here in one issue that can be
pursued efficiently...

Stuart
