OmniGraffle 4 is designed to be much more usable on a small screen  
than OmniGraffle 3 was:  we took eighteen separate floating inspector  
windows and consolidated them into three floating windows with  
multiple panes.  (I use OmniGraffle on a 12" PowerBook, and I  
certainly find OmniGraffle 4 to be much more usable than 3 was on its  
small screen.)

(For those lucky enough to have a 30" cinema display, it's still  
possible to open multiple panes in each floating window:  just drag  
across more than one pane at a time, or command-click on individual  
panes to pick and choose whether each is open or closed.)
