I have rather different ordering than most, headers/overviews across the top, body/group split bottom, maximized on a 21" monitor in 1600x1200 resolution (of which I have two, my panels on the others, so PAN gets the full 1600x1200), so even with the split, there's still plenty of room for at least text message display AND group display, full width toolbar, so no problem there. There's another issue, however. Because groups are in the lower right corner, the groups toolbar is half way down the right side. Every time I go to hit the get headers from subscribed groups button, I naturally go to the top toolbar, only to remember it's not there, then I go find it in the half-way-down-the-right side location. If it was a single toolbar across the top, I'd not have that issue. I could still sure use a keyboard shortcut for that function, get headers for subscribed groups, tho! It's irritating to have to either take the long way around on the keyboard, or reach for the mouse! > 2.
