I am using 4.4.5 on Fedora 13. I could move the toolbars, I just couldn't 
wedge the Location bar between the Main and Bookmarks bars. Then it hit 
me - I should try moving Location before Bookmarks, then move Bookmarks 
down and then a blank panel for it appeared and I got what I wanted. A 
matter of figuring out how to move the pieces around.

Solved! Thanks.
