It must change it  then, Does it needs to fit in less height it's
fitting now ?

I will test it in the BSD box, it's attached to a small 14' screen and -
I think - in 800x600.

I must think on it, now I'll write some code for the toolbars.

We can also float the toolbars, so the user could attach and dettach
them.

We must think on it. ITOH I don't expect too much people will use all
plugins, or even a huge number of plugins.

I also expect more menu based plugins when I fix menu access, and more
non ui plugins as file managers and css dialogs.

What's sure is the UI - the main window I mean - is limited in the
number of widgets.
