Upper and Lower Diff Panes

First, thanks for Diffuse. I think it is the best diff program on Linux.

The diffuse panes are placed side by side which limits the line length that can be seen. Viewing the entire line can require frequent horizontal scrolling.

The program WinMerge has a "Diff Pane" below the main windows that shows the contents of the two sides of a selected difference in an upper and lower pane instead of side by side. This lets you view the diffs without needing to scroll horizontally to view the entire line. An option allows closing the diff windows if they are not needed. But... WinMerge only works on Windows.

I would like to see the upper and lower diff panes on diffuse. The WinMerge screenshots don't show the panes, but there is a screenshot in the documentaton ( http://winmerge.org/docs/manual/Compare_files.html#Compare_files_window ).

Thanks and keep up the good work.
