If you really like this - I'm more in favor of a break-out-of-box(boob) 
option, for the different parts. I still think that the best layout 
would be a more or less fixed layout of some sort.
But of course, - If you could click at a 'boob' icon on that section, it 
would satisfy both you and me ;-)
