Hi Francois,

thx for the patch. +1 by testing and reading.

As the dynamic docheader is postponed for 4.3 i see this as a good way for 
usability.
In 4.1 selects were on the left, and with your patch they are back to the 
left, great! People are used to look to the left side for the function menu, 
but this was all discussed in HCI-list.

I would be very lucky if this could get in.
