It sounds like you've started the usability testing. :) Thanks for 
taking a look.

There are actually a few variations you can experiment with. To get a 
horizontal bar change the 'navbar-fixed-left' class to 
'navbar-fixed-top' on the #edit-zone div. To get text along with the 
icons, add the 'expanded' class.

I think using a bar on the left was motivated by wanting to work for 
portrait-oriented small-screen devices.

If we stick with just icons we definitely need to at least make sure 
they all show tooltips.
