consistent with ... IE7? honestly, i think the throbber in the menubar is a 
bit far. 

i also think the forward/back buttons look beyond ugly where they are in the 
screenshot. it forces the user to separate the navigation into "common 
navigation" (as defined by us) and "less common" and move their mouse into 
very different places. if we do go this route (i'm unconvinced) we should at 
a minimum:

 - make the back/forward buttons look less like regular toolbar buttons so as 
not to confuse with why they are there and the other buttons are elsewhere
 - get vertical alignment correct. the left edge of buttons on each row should 
align

i'm so tempted to just get rid of them. they are such a friggin' hack, so 
buggy, many apps don't work with it ... i tire with the problems it brings 
and really don't believe there is any benefit whatsoever to them in this day 
and age.
