Basically put the Groups button back, and had the Friends and Groups buttons (menu items and short cut keys), open the Friend and Group list is seperate windows independently from the Communicate window.

In the meantime there have been a number of alternative patches/approaches and there are at least three third party solutions out there which revert in varying degrees to the pre 1.18 behaviour (Nicholaz, Cool SL Browser and On Rez).
