in my humble opinion, of course.  Currently, the panels are designed so that
unused panel labels go to the bottom, while the active panel label is at the
top.  This looks kind of nifty, but isn't very useful to me.  it would be more
useful for the labels to all be at the top (as goes the traditional design) and
the extra 24 pixels of real estate at the bottom to be claimed back by nautilus.
 This would be a better use of real estate and would also be more familiar to
users (or at least users like me).  Of course, others might not like this...it
might be nice, in that case, to include it as a preference?

This design was proposed and rejected.

Reassigning to Andy so he can choose to do what he wants with it.

Note that I still like this approach better than removing the tab from where 
it was and leaving a hole (current implementation).

This is poorly titled - I'm going to rename it "User preference for sidebar tabs 
at the top", and mark it to consider for post 1.0.  Please try to be less 
pejorative in your titles in the future.
