Hey, I wasn't aware of that mainpalette thing at all ;)
I agree that it's apparently not working as expected.
And I just found out that the main palette is actually rendered _after_ 
the "getMainFields_postProcess" hook is executed (don't know whether 
this is intended though).

I'm just thinking.. Couldn't we, instead of removing this feature, make 
it work properly?
E.g. in the case of tabs I could imagine the main palette being a sticky 
area outside of the tab container.. just an adventurous thought ;)

It's used in "be_users", "tt_content" and "pages_language_overlay"
