I 2nd that, it would be cool. I rarely use free space (and if then i can call 
the Properties window) and rather set up device icons, than using the drop 
down. But i agree it should be optional.

It's a gtk feature and i know Piotr does not like GTK hacking very much. But at 
least it could be added to the TODO file, no ?

GTK is when you resize a widget it has to negotiate with the other widgets 
which have to kindly ask some icons to go out of the way, but not all are 
listening, while some input fields are in a huff because noone told them at 
all, and refuse anything, and finally things get sorted out but just fast 
enough to get into the way of the latest user action.
