For those interested in trying this, it's worth noting that you'll need to disable some things like the tabbed inbox.

The step-by-step eventually mentions this, but until you get to that point you won't see any sign of the multiple inbox UI.

Absolutely true. I mention at some point. Should i pull this earlier to make it more clear?

Probably wouldn't hurt to at least point out that you won't see anything change until you get to the "turn that stuff off" step.

It also took me a little longer than it probably should have to figure out where "Choose right side layout" was configured.

Thanks for writing up your technique!

It doesn't give you everything on the same screen but if you can't live without the automated filtering of a tabbed inbox, try the "Quick links" Gmail lab rather than multiple inboxes for fast access to Needs Action / Awating Reply (essentially you can save searches to the stars which appear as a set of links below your categories on the left).
