I haven't tried the patch out, but cool! I couldn't use the tooltips for 
the toolbox because they'd show offscreen, but we can do tooltips 
now :D.

@Aaron: Do you have any objection to using tooltips and removing 
the text on the toolbox's icons? So we revert back to something like 
in this SS? (ignore the gradient and the wrench icon, it's an old shot).
