[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Libreoffice] [PATCH] Make the toolbars not popping-up randomly

[Michael Meeks]

Hi Tim,

	Great feature; lets see what the UX advise guys have to say about it.
Prolly they'll want to play with the next dev build.

	Also - the toolbar / framework code doing excessive serialisation to
disk of the toolbar state is rather irritating; it causes grief with
Groupwise embedding LibreOffice (on windows via OLE2) since as they turn
the toolbars off, this is saved as the default setting for this; not
really sure what to do about that - but being able to turn that
serialisation off per-window would be a rather useful feature [ if
you're near there ;-].

	All the best,

		Michael.
