[imp] Placement of folder pulldowns

I don't know about anyone else, but I've considered this.  When I first started
using it, I hit the wrong one from time to time.  I thought, "This is not
good, I need to find something better."  So I tried several different changes
and I never did come up with anything better.  In the mean time, I found that
after a couple of weeks of use the problem goes away.

So, my points are:

1) I think it is bad, as it causes problems for new users.
2) The problems go away after a week or two as people learn what's where.
3) Try as I might, I couldn't find a better place to put things...

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
