Hi, I've 3 UI questions about possible flexibility improvements in 
GNOME/GTK UIs :
- One of the things that I miss from some (Windows) apps is good toolbar 
customizability. Firefox/TBird also do a great job there with their 
customizable panels.
I thought that sort of feature wasn't planned in GNOME apps, but then I 
found one magic Evince dialog : Edit>Toolbar. Wow ! Ala-Firefox 
draggable items, separators, smooth animation, great ! Hence : Is 
expanding this type of feature to all GNOME apps planned ? I think the 
implementation is very clean, very GNOMEish, unintrusive, this could be 
a great global addition for people who like to customize a bit their apps.
- In the same domain, why the "Detachable Toolbar" tickbox in 
System>Preferences>Menus&Toolbars is only effective on a few apps ? 
(e.g. Evolution yes, gedit no, Nautilus no)
- And finally, is it planned to enable dragging a toolbar next to 
another ? I think it would allow to gain some vertical space and avoid 
not-really-sexy unused horiz. space. This is especially true with non4/3 
wide screens that generate a lot of such unused horizontal space...
I hope this small feedback will help.
Thanks for everything, and keep up the excellent work ! GNOME rocks.
