Re: Formatting "Edit Section" icon/link
There's no admin option for styling the section edit icon, as far as I know, being a new feature. In the page source I see div class="icon_edit_section" and img class="icon" so I imagine you can replace or override default CSS properties for these, as far as the placement is concerned. I don't think the icon can be replaced with text using CSS alone (pseudo class could be used but wouldn't work in all browsers, i.e., IE6), but you could make an image of the text "edit" and replace the default image with it (same name and path).
