Yeah, I had something very similar for a while, on a previous laptop.
I still managed to shove the google searchbox into the line -- I just
gave up on a number of useless buttons.  BTW, there's also F11 which
is great for low resolution screens.

[I've been a big fan of the google toolbar for a really long time.
The features that make it a killer app that I can think of (beyond
just having the convenient search box that now all browsers have):

* The "up" button (on my linux browser I get that with M-up, but not
  on windows)

* The search box with the button that colors the words is great --
  besides searching, you can just enter a few words and you get
  immediate multi-word highlights.  Extremely useful when you dig
  through manuals for a specific bit of information.

* The new killer feature is keeping the configuration in the google
  acount -- but that's becuase I use a bad OS for browsing...
