Hi, Design Team!

I got a little issue with the new filter panel introduced in Transmission 2.11. 
I desided to ask here because it's part of Fedora and there are people 
experienced in UI design.

The GUI client used to have nice buttons [1] that allowed to jump quickly 
between the lists of active / paused / seeding torrents, etc. Now that there 
are options added, the control has been converted into combo boxes [2].

The issue is pretty simple: I dont' like the extra-click-and-choice it takes to 
use the combo boxes.

I have posted a ticket [3] to the trac trying to explain my concern. Being 
disappointed I made myself sound offensive, which I regret and feel very sorry 
for. However, the developer agreed to see a new solution that wouldn't narrow 
back the current functionality. Tabs wouldn't work. I'd like to consult with 
designers if this can be improved any further. Maybe Máirín or Jakub would have 
an idea?

Thank you.
