A real professional qualified UX person! This is great! Rufus could you
do us a great favour and read the comments in
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513691>
(Sanitize redesigned download progress window)

And then write up a cogent summary of why the mini buttons are wrong,
wrong, wrong. Almost all the SeaMonkey developers are actually against
the mini buttons. The only person in favour of the mini buttons is,
unfortunately, KaiRo, the project co-ordinator.

Until now all we have is 100% negative feedback from our users
(dismissed by KaiRo as "I'm right, everyone else is wrong") and
anecdotal evidence from the other developers.

Now if a professional human interfaces person like you could come up
with some authoritative statement (and the reasoning) about the
undesirability of the mini buttons. I'm sure all of us will thank you.
