Good, some user feedback :)

Yes, I agree that the current layout is not optimal.  It would be nice
to be able to see several things onscreen at once.  Personally, I'd
eventually like to see a more general 'docking' solution, so that the
user can arrange the different widgets where he or she wants them, but
that will take a lot of work and is some way off yet.  The question is
then, how much work do we want to put into a slightly better but also
non-optimal arrangement?  And what is the best way to improve it?  Do
we simply split the bottom pane and put a fixed set of tabs in each
half?  Or let the user choose which tabs to put in which half?  I'm
not sure yet.  Anyone else have any ideas?

I believe that should be fixed if you update to the latest svn :)
Marko Anastasov added a patch for this in the last day or two.

Have you tried compiling without any optimization? I think autotools
generally default to -O2 or something, if you try with -O0, do all the
symbols show up as you would expect?

great.  Thanks for your input.
