A more significant detail question: peeking at the commits, it is not entirely
clear for me whether the current implementation also offers it as a sidebar by
default (like in the mockup from attachment #154370) rather than only a bottom
pane? As I originally wrote back in 2011, and I believe this is even more true
today, using a sidebar for this rather than a bottom pane would make more sense
as the default UX.

Short summary of my reasoning:

* Wide (& even ultrawide) landscape monitors have become the norm since the
late 2000's
* Screen-wide line lengths* are typographically hard to read, vs wrapping 45-75
cols
* Presenter notes are often bullet-point form, i.e. lots of line breaks

*: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_length talks about the research


Additionally, maybe the sidebar and bottom panel notes widget could have a
button to toggle/switch between the two layout modes, for convenience. The app
should then remember what the last chosen layout was.
