Details:

We've now got three interacting options in the Gtk2 client:
* Arrange widgets for small displays
* Merge the message notebook and the map notebook
* Split bottom notebook area
I've been playing with the various combinations.

The latter two don't interact nicely; if they're both set, the Chat tab
merges with the map/reports notebook, but the Messages tab is still separate
at the bottom/right (depending on the first option). This seems unintuitive.

Not sure what the right answer is. The simplest is just to ignore "Split
bottom notebook area" whenever "Merge the message notebook and the map
notebook" is selected (and document this).

A quick look at the code suggests this is an oversight rather than
deliberate.
