The Admin dashboard in WP 2.7 has a neat Recent Comments Box, from which you can manage and reply to comments directly. The only problem is that it shows the comment excerpt instead of the entire comment text. This means that you basically have to load another page to view the entire comment.
This simple plugin fixes this issue.

This plugin hides the WordPress Toolbar (admin bar) for all visitors and users without the ‘administrator’ role. It’s a very simple plugin with no settings to configure.
<ul>
<li>Use this plugin for sites with only one admin who needs access to the dashboard and the admin bar.</li>
<li>This plugin is super lightweight, with just a few lines of code.</li>
<li>If you need to show the toolbar for other user roles, use the filter <code>habfna_show_admin_bar_roles</code>.</li>
</ul>
This plugin is a tweak of the code by Yoast to hide the admin bar for non-admins only.
