I opt for the most imagineable work :)

That is, one VERTICAL device bar in the middle between the panes.
This would definitely mean the least mouse kilometers.
It would be also unique (AFAIKS) among any file managers.
What a coolness !

Two vertical ones is boring, Konqueror and IIRR k3b and probably others already 
have this, it's real uncool because it's meaning still long mouse ways and is 
again  redundant.

And at this occasion, any action could be invoked by icon: Custom command 
(including mounting), Bookmark...it should be rewritten from scratch, in a more 
generic way. Same philosophy as with remote connections.

ok let me guess. GTK2 does not provide for this.

hmm.

Any workaround....? Creating a third middle pane with that toolbar as only 
content ?
What a mess.
I mean, this is 21th century ... others already build space archs heading for 
remote stars at this stage, you know...

It's all the guilt of IBM. They hired Gates...(only because this other guy was 
out fishing!)

It's all the guilt of the fishes.
