Good God, hadn't noticed that! What the hell...? If you can see that 
tick box, the menu bar is already on. If you untick it, the menu it's 
on will disappear. The name Kafka comes to mind (though it may not be 
entirely appropriate, but you get my drift).

Yes, I've just discovered this from stuff on the user forum, where I 
found people talking about having (in one case) up to 49 buttons 
(crazy if you ask me, but then you aren't). I had actually been 
looking for the right place to suggest adding a 5x3 matrix to the 
menu, as my netbook has such a wide screen. Not sure how convenient 
it will be on the ancient non-widescreen monitor I have hooked up to 
my desktop. I wonder if Opera Link synchronization includes the 
number of buttons. I suppose it must.

Bound to!
