Comment (by dd32):

 Crazy idea:  This is a chance for someone to experiment with avoiding the
 Thickbox all together, Selecting an image from the Upload dialogue sticks
 to the existing UI, but in reality, most users do not need all the
 functionality/details that comes from that process. (As we're seeing with
 suggestions to hide certain bits).

 I've quickly sketched out a example of what I mean:
 [[Image(http://f.cl.ly/items/401X3d3J150e2q0b0T0A/Screen%20Shot%202012-07-10%20at%2011.14.25%20AM.png)]]

 If there are any details which should be shown when switching images (for
 example, resolution maybe?) hovering over a image for long enough could
 trigger the image to expand (So they're sure that's the image they want)
 and also show some extra details (such as the resolution).
