Add option to stack the "taskbar" to avoid scrolling to right with MMB.

Hi please add an option to stack the thin taskbar visually when the size of an Area isn't wide enough to display all the buttons. I'm talking about the bar that's usually at the bottom of an Area (the most important one :)). Adding a screenshot to explain.

I don't get why it would be a problem to have this as an option that you could turn on and off...

If you don't see any problem while others do, why don't you make it yourself?

Ist this doable by simply duplicating the taskbar as often as you need it in your screen setup and then sliding the respective 'slice' to the desired position?

Lauloque

Yes, it's actually what he did in his mockup, and to me, it seems to be the best way.

Not a fan of this, both because it eats away a screen space, but it also messes with the consistency of where to expect things in the header area. Imagine having a very narrow, but also short area, the whole thing could easily be eaten away by a stacked header so you have no ability to actually see the content of that editor.

That said, would you expect this option to be set per area or globally? Where would users find this option?
