Jon,
My answer to your question is No and Yes - sort of... :-)

''No'', the Refresh/Go and Stop buttons can't be moved at all with the 
IE-7 user interface - love it or hate it there's no option to budge 'em.

''Yes'' if you opt to go with the current version Maxthon 1.5.9 Build 30 
Dated: 2006-11-28.  That's IE-7 with a makeover with all the options on 
the surface that you could poke a stick at.  You can reduce the number 
of and re-order the Standard Buttons toolbar with just the buttons you 
really need with the Stop and Refresh buttons (in either order) as the 
last two buttons.  Then push the Address bar up onto that row and 
that'll have those two buttons to the left of the addy bar. 

The Search bar can be pushed up onto the top Menu bar to use up the 
surplus bare space on that row.

Select to use ''Small Icons" to save more space and you'll end up with a 
good length address bar/box.  No probs to get say 7 tool bars with 
adequate options on two rows and then one Tab(s) bar under those.  All 
up you can 'personalise' it just how you want it and not necessarily how 
someone else dictates.  It's surprising the small amount of screen space 
can be saved for better window size/usage.  At the end of it you still 
have IE-7 under the bonnet if that one is one of your chosen browsers.  
For what it's worth, there's no way I'd settle for using IE-7 in it's 
present restrictive UI format.  Have a go - you'll have a ball with it, 
and when it's sitting pretty go: View | Toolbars > |Lock The Toolbars to 
make 'em all stay put.
