I found an addon, "MyQuests", for player-defined quests, which may be different than the one you used but seems very nice!
Not fully working also, but starts to be working.

Here is what it looks like:
(I'm thrilled!)

What do ya think?

*sobs*
I've been sent to the corner for breaking Grochk's interface...I knew it!
A dark corner. *sobs again*

-- Attempt no 3 --
Now, I'll try to get used to the small little mushroom... sooo small. *mumbles something about people like the writer who don't see something unless it gets in their eye*
The rest, fixed... thanks a lot for the tips...
FuBar! My precious! Mine all miiiiine, FuBar has to stay.
...Unless it doesn't. (I'll have to try again and see. I don't know how much it takes with its plugins comparatively.)
I don't know about MrPlox, use ArkInventory for bag sorting, seems quite flexible and keeps records across characters.
Buffet is absolutely great indeed, I didn't know it, saved me about 6 buttons/keys.

Now, last attempt of the mix with FuBar: says 38MB used. That seems low, considering the full auctioneer, elephant with all settings maxed, arkinventory (keeps records for all alts inventories and mails), WIM logs, NotesUNeed - another bunch of stuff saved - and whatever I don't remember now. *angel eyes to Grochk*

As for the looks, I don't know, is there an improvement... ?

Edit: it's not 38, it's 48 when auctioneer loads its data (it had not at the time of the screenshot). It's interesting, but it is nothing comparing to the game itself and whatever else, nor impacts the gameplay.

Thanks for the informations, will take a look at that CameraPlus! About messenger, I'm afraid you probably mean Wow Instant Messenger (WIM) that creates separate windows for each conversation in whispers only, with a couple of plugins perhaps guild and party, but not /say, no other general or custom channels. At least this I know, and it's nice, but, for keeping easy track of whispers.

Episode II now if I may:

Elephant, a nice chat logger, who is able to record any channels at all. Still, it has a few things that I didn't like, and I started tricking it a little:
- it had a limit of 1000 lines per channel, it became 5000, but more importantly:
- the copy window had 150 lines, and hard to scroll and copy, it became 1000 lines maximum, a little quicker to scroll too, and all text is now selected when you open the window, thus allowing to copy paste in a couple of seconds.
Please feel free to take a look :). Again, any opinions are appreciated.

I am the kind of player that would keep an entire addon with quite many functionalities only because of a tiny piece of it. And what is worse it that I don't even use that tiny piece too much, because it has its inconveniences, still I "might" use it more one day...
Well, well.
Specifically, I kept the ImmersionRP addon that I don't use (I use MyRolePlay) because of the little "RP button" that it adds to the chat. The button hides most of your interface, leaving only the chat window and tooltips visible, for you to ... RP of course. That seemed like a wonder for someone who always had a too many action bars and such.

These days I was tired enough of them too many addons, so I extracted the code for the RP button into another little addon that does nothing else (RPButton), and gave up the rest. I attach it here. Please feel free to take it if you find it useful. If not, perhaps you can say why not and I might add something to it?
Mind you, currently there is nothing of my own there, is only a part of the ImmersionRP (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/immersion-rp.aspx).
I attach a screenshot with what the interface looks like when you click it.
Then, as I said, in fact I don't use it because of some inconveniences. Specifically:
1) It hides most frames, including the "target" frame. That is a little too much, it makes it wierd, you don't know when and what target you have selected unless you notice the thin selection circle around it... not good. The same for the pet frame I think.
2) It lets the chat how it was... Perhaps it could leave the damned /trade channel and join it back at the end?
3) Again, the chat. Perhaps it could split the chat window in two windows, one for /say, /yell, /emote and one for the rest.
4) It could allow one action bar still visible? (the one for RP macros I suppose)

Attempt no. 2. It has become crowded but hopefully not too much :)

In the bottom left of the screen, above the bones-n-blood panel, there is another action bar, but almost invisible until the mouse is over it; similarly, in the right there are actually two other action bars right above the panel, but totally invisible normally. This was a compromise with wanting to have all buttons eventually, and being sick of not seeing anything but buttons on the screen :D

Will post tomorrow some info about how to make this little customisation and a couple of others. Too tired now... I'm sorry, I don't know how to move the panel itself, to make place for an extra action bar ... or perhaps...? I will check.

*bows to Grockh and goes to sleep*

Okaaaay, today was the last day. I've had it with mine. Ugly and overloaded. I'm gonna try this myself as well.
*takes a deep breath preparing to delete the ... 179 addons! and start over from scratch*

Norviskrall looked around his little room, to take everything he needed for two days. Then the thought hit him: "and what if Ghark sees this skin? he was not at the meeting, is a new blood...He wouldn't dare! Or would he?"
He still felt the shock and anger growing up as he remembered how Ghark had acted and how he had spoken to her.
His mind stopped the memory in horror. One could not have read so many things about her and her role in the tribe with the fresh curious eyes of Norviskrall without gaining a great respect for her. She has become like a legend to him. In his mind, the tribe, its history, Claws and being orcish were deeply woven. And this orc...
Norviskrall went straight to the second shelf, took one of the arcane tomes and looked at a few pages. "That's it, silencing for a minute, dazzling, yes it's this one". He put in his bag with a mechanical gesture, like he didn't know what he was doing. "I wouldn't use it, of course I wouldn't. But, just in case..."
