The thing is that there's now a kind of Google menu bar on top of the
page. In the Minimalistic theme it just about covers the first item,
so you never see it.
Bothers me, too. Using GReader with all the cruft around the content
that Google likes to spray over all pages totally turns me off, the
Minimalistic theme is the only way I can stand Google Reader, really.
