Could someone explain me the + + + and the * at the bottom ofthescreen (Om 2008.8) ?

1. It will adjusted obviously to make it usable, when the functionality is
added.
2. Its easier to keep them and have them do nothing. As we get more toward a
beta release
   Some of these things will become clearer.  

  when I sat down dith the designers, the first two questions I had were
about
The '+' and '*'  So, I understand your current confusion.

1. if special is smth to be used frequently then now * got the worst place
-- with finger it is nearly impossible to press in the left bottom corner --
just try

2. in most of the situations those placeholders are EMPTY, so why to keep
them? may be there is a reasonable solution (not too much coding) to hide
them automagically if they are empty?? having empty "+"s is plain silly.
Another option is to make that panel floating as well as the top panel --
click on "^" and it comes up with beautiful "+"s ;-)
