How so ?

a) the left-most patient picture extends over top and bottom
   row of the top panel

b) the right hand side pick lists (encounter type, problem)
   are managed by the top panel

Maybe I misunderstand your proposal ?

This certainly sounds desirable.

How ? Should not we try to fix that ?

According to Richard's design plugins *add* their functionality
to a *managed* toolbar. That point it seems would be lost. I
am not sure Richard would agree here.

I am in favour of cleaning up the code but need further info
to understand your approach.
