 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.

 I really don't think so!!! Old interface was a bit misleading, IMHO.
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 
looks a bit better.
