UI: No "back" button in the Mist browser #140

The Mist browser's "back" button is permanently hidden / gone when visiting "registrar.ens.domains." (Mac OS X / latest release of Mist, 0.8.10.)

If this is required by the design or functionality of the Dapp, I understand, but if it is not necessary to hide the "back" button it sure would be nice to be able to intuitively go "back" and "forward" to previously-visited pages.

Also, clicking anywhere in the header bar to go back to the main page is counter-intuitive: 1) If I click the "ENS" icon inside the Mist browser search bar, nothing happens. 2) If I click the "ENS" shortcut icon on the far left side of the mist browser (sort of the equivalent of a "tab" in a regular browser,) nothing happens. 3) But wait, if I click randomly anywhere in colored-background header, it takes me back to the home page (?!) Not intuitive. That big area is a big target for mis-clicks and subsequent confusing navigation jumps, which are further exacerbated by the lack of a "back" button.

For example suppose I am trying to click "Unwatch" but my cursor is a bit off and I click in the empty part of the header field -- I am transported back to the main page.

Suggestion: Have clearly-labeled navigation icons such as "home," which are visible on every page in the same location. Remove the "click anywhere in empty space to return home" functionality that is currently in place.
