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.

I don't understand this, please explain. Lead me :)

I'm almost sure that prompts would break without some extra-special
trickery.
What about putting the mode-line in the gutter? Or to be more specific,
breaking
the mode-line into a window-oriented mode-line and a frame-oriented
status-bar?

This is an interesting thought. I mean to subsume the modeline redisplay
code into the gutter redisplay code anyway because the latter is more
generic. After thisw what you suggest might be possible.
Of course mswindows has native status bars, but using them would break with X.
I still have some layout stuff to do that I've been discussing with Ben.
Basically with layout widgets we will be able to construct frames with just
gutters that look almost identical to native dialogs / guis.
