Yes, by appropriately rewriting some of the css that defines the page
in sage/notebook/server/css.py.
I wish somebody would do that and send me a patch.

Note that if you just shrink the space on your machine, it will actually
completely cover up all the controls on the top on many other machines.
It's very very system dependent.  Having extra space is the only reasonable
solution until somebody sits down and does this right.

Ok I think I found what happened. I added the div before the last table in the top bar. It is kind of confusing since it is in _html_body instead of html_worksheet_topbar. I'll fix that and upload patch 3.

I made some changes to improve the notebook. Could people try out my patch and see if it breaks / does anything stupid on other browsers?

It looks like there is a fair amount of cleaning up to do.

Please post one patch bundle, so I know what to actually apply.
