--- Comment #4 from Dave Close <dave.close at us.thalesgroup.com> ---
Thanks for the explanation. The last cited reference states, "LibreOffice
believes that it should be pleasant and easy to use by anyone; and it will
never take steps (like other softwares sometimes do) that will sacrifice one
group of users’ preferences just to please another." But everything I see makes
it hard or harder to use for those of us who prefer *TEXT* buttons, not
pictures (icons). For example, there is no way to change all toolbars globally
to text mode, and it appears to be very difficult, if not impossible, to make
text mode changes persist when the same document is later reopened. One of the
references cited seems to continue this bias against text mode by asserting
that text labels should not or cannot be used with the notebookbar. I truly
wish that the quotation above could be believed but it doesn't look that way to
me.

This ticket was opened because I prefer to use text buttons. Offering a new way
to arrange icons is not a solution. If LO doesn't want to support text, that's
certainly your privilege, but it won't make me happy.
