--- Comment #24 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I don't think the Thunderbird example is all that unclear--at least not to my
wife and mother, who both use Thunderbird daily and whom I often use as
barometers of what "average users" consider easy or difficult (one is a retired
college professor in the humanities, and the other is an artist).

We could make it more obvious which button the arrow belongs to by moving it a
bit closer to the button's icon or text. Alas, this is always going to be an
inherent issue with borderless toolbuttons, and it's the price we pay for
having chosen to use them instead of always showing the button border. I find
it quite telling that the issue goes away entirely for buttons with borders,
which tells me that hiding the buttons amounts to working around a limitation
of another decision we've made. IMHO in these cases, if the original decision
can't be revisited, we need to make extra effort to satisfactorily resolve the
issue stemming from it, rather than giving up and simply replacing it with a
*different* issue, which is what's happened after we removed the arrows.

So +1 for returning the arrows, but with some tweaks to improve the ease of
determining which button they're attached to.
