Hi,
I undestand and really liked the idea of a moldable debugger and it's true that the button actions act over the stack, however the decision on what action to use is taken not looking to the stack pane (normally I've decided what to do looking on the source pane). In this context, the buttons are far away where the attention usually is (the code pane). IMHO for the user experience point of view I think is better to have the actions below the stack list and above the stack pane to let the user do not diverge his attention. I'm proposing not dettaching the action buttons for the stack pane, just changing the location (and also moving and inverting the direction of the tab label to not waste space).

Interesting idea.�� Only the [Stack] tab is a bit lonely over there on the right.�� Perhaps the tab could still be on the left, with the buttons left justified against it?

Well I put the buttons on the left on purpose because in the case you're debugging source code the content tends to be on the left half of the screen.�� So this keeps the actions close to the decision on what to use.

I do agree.�� Here is my mockup, dependent on the number of [Stack] tabs expected.
