You can click to hide "chat" and "invite" so they just appear as a single line item. They have two new lab features which may help you.

Google Calendar gadget - Adds a box in the left column which shows your Google Calendar.

Navbar drag and drop - Allows you to reorder the items in your navbar using drag and drop. With this you may even move chat and invite way to the bottom.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at in my post. My point is that Google is ramming this chat stuff down our throats and nobody seems to complain. If it was true "widget architecture", I would be able to remove "Chat" and "Invite" completely, not just collapse it.
