--- Comment #16 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at user-prompt.com> ---
First of all I have to admit that I didn't read all of the comments. Sorry if
something has been discussed before.

We run a study on LO standard toolbar last year. Quick wins can be found here:
http://user-prompt.com/conclusions-of-the-libreoffice-icon-test/ 

The findings support Jay's basic idea. But I would be careful with removing or
adding too much stuff from the standard toolbar because the position of an icon
is quite important too. That means some icons serve as whitespace even when
it's never used. For instance, if Save was the left most function it could be
misinterpreted as save and close (it was common practice to have Exit in the
toolbar, erstwhile).

All toolbars are customizable. Right click somewhere and chose the option from
the context menu. Neither this dialog is usable nor it's obvious how to access
it. But Jay's first issue could be solved right now. So how's about a better
usability for the personalization of toolbars?

Finally I'd like to advice caution using personal preferences. For instance,
the Navigator might not be used by many people but I love it. So I'd suggest to
add Search into this sidebar - and most users wouldn't find the function
anymore. All ideas have to get confirmed by a larger group of standard users.
