Restricting them to be buffers is pretty much useless in Gnus. I
don't know which rules you currently use to select which buffers get
buttons, but they are almost always the wrong ones.
Maybe I'll make people scream but anyway: I'd like to
have the echo
area in the gutter. At least, I'd like to have separate places for the echo
area and the minibuffer.
That's an interesting thought. I don't think I would like to run that
way normally, but it would be interesting to try it out.
