Isn't that a pretty far out corner case?  Shouldn't LP be designed to
work the way majority of its users are going to be working?

Clean interface, efficient design are everything...

At the very least, it should be moved to a screen that is accessible but
not righ ton top, I think.  But that is kind of moot, since it would
require a lot of redesign of LP.  The last facelift that LP got was
great, but it needs to have an interface that, IMHO, is exclusively
AJAX-driven.  There is far, far too much overhead in the page reload
round trips for, say, 70% of what LP does.
