I was planning more testing before merging with the trunk. I did a lot 
of testing on various parts as I went along. The function to switch 
between the two locations was the last I implemented. I guess I got a 
little anxious for feedback and did not test it as much as I should 
have. I have corrected the problem you found.

I have also changed the default to have the toolbars in the text 
windows. I have pushed these changes to the bazaar branch.
