Caption should be removed (tooltip and icon already tell you what will popup
from the spit buttons) and dragging should be disabled as there is no means to
dock it like the sidebar or toolbars, making its floating functionality very
limited.

Caption should be removed (tooltip and icon already tell you what will popup)
and dragging should be disabled as it provides no useful functionality.

Didnt get what "without header/double lines" or "no borders" meant. Flat
appearance is important as its showing a preview of how it looks on a flat
page.

3D buttons when hovering isnt good as these should be standard toggle buttons
or checkboxes (bug 113633).

Acts the same as other split/group buttons that pull out menu items like new,
open and save buttons.
