The fact that you can move them indicates that you're not using the most current version of Inkscape. .....unless developers have changed it in the development version, and that's what you're using? It's not a huge problem that you're not using a current version, but I just wanted to mention it, in case you might want to upgrade. Also, if you don't have a current version, you might not see those 3 options that druban mentioned, on the View menu.
The last time I remember being able to move those bars, I do remember it being a little tricky. All i can remember is that you have to grab them in such a way that you see the 4 way arrow. That will be at the left side of the bar. Then you drag it to where the left side of the bar connects to the left side of the window. I seem to recall that it doesn't look like it's doing anything, but when you release the mouse button, it will jump into place.
