David,

I think that that's quite well explained in Chapter 8 of the guide, and the new user's problems are largely down to not reading the documentation before diving in.

I agree with to your proposed change to the UI for 2.8, and it should be as you say fairly simple, probably only a Glade change with no code. Please do file a bug so that we remember to do it.

Regards,
