How about using the tool-bar infrastructure for that? We could have a
second tool-bar line, below the usual one, with buttons for buffers.
When buttons are too many to display in a single line, we could add
another line, etc. Alternatively, when there are too many buttons to
fit on a single line, we display a "More..." button that would pop up
a menu of the rest; those that get their own buttons would then be
maintained on some kind of LRU basis.
