If you undock all the toolbars, and then re-dock them, you can make them take up as many rows as you want. I just did so, and now I have all the options readily available with no drop-downs. This also keeps them off my desktop, since Scribus can't figure out how to minimize them when Scribus is minimized. I still think there is a bug. If a user undocks the toolbars they should still minimize when the program is minimized. They should not stay on the desktop like the remains of last night's dinner.
