Are you able to select View|Show/Hide|Search Bar and does this make a difference?
This is ofcourse different because it completely closes the Views/Quick Search
Bar. It appears you are asking for the ability to minimize via a widget on the
Views/QuickSearch Bar.

Yes, View|Show/Hide|Search Bar works, but what I meant is, as you wrote, a
minimize widget.

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

it's not a toolbar, and what you are asking for is for us to add a toolbar 
grippy.

it's working as designed, marking wontfixed.

Adding sspitzer.

Seth, I respekt your decision, but I have a Screenshot which could perhaps have
a look at. If you still decide to WONTFIX, I'll verify that immediately.

First is the normal quicksearch bar, second and third is the quicksearchbar in
a toolbar/toolbox.

Neil: Now that you are superreviewer for SeaMonkey, what do you think about this
patch? I think it is very useful on small screens, I was using that for a long
time on my old PC with a 14" screen at 800x600.
