This one really needs discussion. I think having most often used tools in
the toolbar _is_ the right idea. Main idea of toolbar is to provide you
handy access to tools you use most often.

Maybe we should leave those buttons for novices (like me) and advanced
user could just remove them. BTW I updated CVS once again, now this dialog
