We're glad you like it. I am planning on removing them soon, first I 
want to commit the other two patches (remove RTE checkbox etc.). This is 
all part of the big alt_doc.php cleanup.

There has only been a discussion internally in the HCI team. Feel free 
to send your thoughts to either the HCI list or to Jens 
(jens(at)typo3org) directly as this is of course not final and we can 
discuss a better solution.
I just took Jens' approach from his mockups. I think what he wanted was 
to have all the save stuff on the left and all the "not saving it" on 
the other side.

Anyway, what I plan for the next weeks is that skin developers can 
dynamically arrange the buttons on top through either a HTML Template or 
a hook. Stay tuned for that.

Btw.. is anyone for against removing the two dropdowns on the top there 
(we are thinking of moving the "Open Documents" to the top frame in the 
Cleaner BE anyway) given that the new icons will clearly explain all the 
actions on top?
