[dev] Remove multi-column portal blocks?

[Jan Schneider]

There's also the weather block that usually takes at least two  
columns. I use two-column blocks all the time and would really miss  
them, personally.

>> Hey folks-

>> It's all much easier and more flexible if we get rid of the

>> configurable) columns, with blocks stacked on each other one over the
>> other, makes it much easier to drag them around and determine a sort
>> order (instead of the current grid). Also means you don't have to play
>> with the length of your task list to avoid wasting space.
>>
>> Basically, instead of the current grid:
>>
>>  a | c
>>  a |
>>  a |
>>  - | -
>>  b | d
>>
>> Here, "c" has a lot of extra space and "d" is too far down because it
>> has to clear "a" as well. I'd propose:
>>
>>  a | c
>>  a | -
>>  a | d
>>  - | -
>>  b | e
>>
>> It also happens to simplify the code a lot, of course, but that's not
>> the main reason to do it. The only real bummer with this change that I
>> can think of is comics - but I'd just have one extra-wide oolumn in my
>> portal to accomodate that; I personally don't think it's worth it just
>> for that.
>>
>> Any major objections?
