[Inkscape-user] Toolbar Positions

Hi, just playing with an asus eee pc 900, ubuntu 9.10 with Inkscape 0.47pre4 r22446, built Oct 14 2009, and would like to move the tool bar positions. I know it can be done in other design packages etc, but the screen is a tad small, and would like to see a little more of the page by moving some of the bars to the sides of the page etc. they seem to be locked? well they go up and down, but would like to go from landscape to a portrait positioning, and have looked through the preferences to no avail, and was wondering if its something simple to do?

many thanks Phil
