What about bringing back the bar in a "customizable" mode where users can
add, remove, and rearrange buttons? I see problems here as well (like "there
isn't enough room for all the buttons I want"), but thought I'd run it up
the old flagpole.

Doesn't Gravity do this? I'd check, but I just rebuilt my laptop (first time
since I bought it 2 years ago) and haven't reloaded it yet. Seems to me
gravity has a way to "bind" filters to a specific group even if that filter
is only something simple like "show unread only". I'm just thinking that may
be someplace to start looking for ideas, if you haven't already.
