If more buttons are added to the top horizontal toolbar it will take away from the size of the address field and you will no longer be able to see the entire ip/hostname you're entering to call, unless the program is made even wider, causing even more wasted space to the sides of the video. With the set size of the video for gnomemeeting and the length of the current horizontal toolbar it creates that small space on the side of the video for the vertical toolbar, and the buttons on it are of use to many people. If some people are unable to use an application because they become confused by too many buttons, or because it doesn't look like a generic gtk application maybe the vertical toolbar should toggle. -- .: OverrideX .: Jabber: OverrideX Penguin Power!
