Don't know if it's already been done, but I think it's a great idea!
That's one thing I didn't like about moodle and some other systems I
used.  The display seemed to jump around, reshaping itself as more and
more of the page content loaded. Yuck!

Don't have that problem so much with PmWiki because I have more
control over the skin...  But the idea is the same.
