Great to have Rhythmbox Breakdown back =)

Two suggestions:

* The current tooltip for the Hide Browser button is "Change the
visibility of the browser". What about changing it to "Toggle 3 pane
view" ?

* Like it have been suggested before, I too thing a drop down menu is
the way to go, rather than having 3 almost but not quite unlike radio
buttons =)

A drop down menu scales, and it takes up much less UI space. It could look like:

Show only: [                                                 ] in [ Albums ]

I can't wait to see the code for the first Python plugin that changes
the UI Rhythmbox!

Will there be a plugin section at Rhythmbox.org where users can submit plugins?
