I still stand that keeping the toolstrip and making -show-extensions- on-top the default behavior is still best.
I realized recently the very few people knew that this trigger even existed! See screenshot at http://thebrauergroup.com/labs/ if you've never used that trigger It removes the need for an extra bar at the bottom and still allows the extreme versatility that toolstrips have to offer. Without toolstrips, Chrome doesn't have a fighting chance competing on the extension front with FireFox or even (dare I say it) IE.
