I think the second layout is better, but I think there should be a
groove between the two toolbars. At the moment the drag handle
doesn't show up very well making it difficult to see how to pull
off individual toolbars. I would also prefer it if the toolbar did
not extend across the full width of the screen unless it has items
to fill the space.

Do you see what I mean, or should I knock up a piccy of my own to
make it clearer?
