On a Mac we have two mutually incompatible needs. On one hand we want to look like a native Mac application which means conforming to the Apple HIG. Unfortunately splitter grippies don't exist in the native Mac widget set. On the other hand we also want SeaMonkey to behave like the traditional Mozilla Suite. So the challenge is to come up with some UI for the splitter grippy (that does the collapse/expand toggle) that doesn't look too un-Mac-ish. So it's actually there but you may not realize that that's the grippy where you need to click on.
