there, that's probably the #1 complaint about the toolbox covered off.

the probably-#2 complaint is that if you have the left corner set for some 
special feature you can't reassign the toolbox.

that requires generalizing the painting calculations in desktoptoolbox.cpp so 
it can be moved to other places on screen, but it's also completely doable.

see? *fixing* things is so much of a better approach than letting people just 
turn things off randomly. why? because i know about this issues due to people 
using it. if they could turn it off, they'd just turn it off and not whinge. 

the goal should be to remove the reasons for whinging (pain points), not 
giving people ways to work around the pain points.

does that make sense, or am i talking gibberish to you all?
