First, you click it to show or hide the toolbar. The second purpose — and the reason it’s a magical lozenge: you ⌘-click it to cycle between the various icon/text and toolbar size configurations. Like all forms of magic, this one has its downside as well, as the odd ugly duck application may manage to do something just totally insane when you click the magical lozenge, at least until they fix the thing.

But I’m already enjoying the fact that Samba shares mount INSTANTLY and with no fanfare. I use an alias in my .bashrc that calls smbclient and connects to a Samba daemon on my LAN. The millisecond that I hit Enter for my alias, mountgnubox, the server icon appears on the Desktop. I do not know how this could possibly get any more perfect. Waking from sleep, the shares automatically reconnect before I can even get the lid of my MacBook Pro all the way up. Yes. If the system doesn’t complain when the share can’t be found on the network, then one of the major reasons for FTFF is gone. [...]</p> [...] More on Leopard coming later.
