iirc there was another screenshot i saw which had the action names 
e.g burn to cd underlined. imo that was the cleanest one, but i'm
unable to find the url :(

someone talked about mozilla's solution (to add a small 'tab' to the 
splitter resize bar which hides/shows it) to this a while back anyone
have any idea of the progress of that widget?, together with a nice
icon to describe the action of the 'tab' this would be a sweet solution
to the overall problem i see with the sidebar. (and mozilla doesn't
make it quite obvous enough, grips/arrows/icon are missing on the tab)
