Continuing the theme of minor interface annoyances, one of the unique features of Mathematica as a text editor is the automatic adjustment of text location as you type. This could be a bit disorienting...Any way to make it stop?

Can the toolbar be moved to the code window?
Is there any way to move Mathematica's toolbar window so it is just part of the current notebook's window? I usually just work with one notebook at a time and it is pretty annoying to have to have two windows.

How to create a notebook that has the form (not function) of the System Information Notebook?
Mathematica's system information display (click Help>AboutMathematica>SystemInformation to see it) is nicely packaged. Is it just a notebook with a TabView and other controls in a notebook with options set to size it just larger than the controls?…
