For the mixer, it is not too hard to leave the buttons that are actually used regularly on screen, and drag it around to get at the less commonly used ones toward the bottom (unless you spend lots of time adding comments to your tracks or changing their output bus). 5) also This may not work with a window manager that puts title bars at the top of windows, but with evilwm or a decent tiling wm it definitely works, I have worked on a number of tracks this way.
