Actually, the back/forward buttons are also something I would like to
change. The extra drop down buttons look a bit cluttered IMHO and I'm
thinking about dropping them and making the main back/forward buttons
pop up a history menu instead when pressed for a longer period of time. 

This would be similar to what Firefox does and it saves some horizontal
space as well.

Anyway, this is getting a little off-topic. Home button is for $HOME,
not for browsing volumes or bookmarks, so I'd rather not move the
location button menu there.
