Actually it should be very easy to create such buttons, thanks to my work on
SubToolBarController back in July. I believe it wouldn't be that hard to let
users create such group buttons themselves.

Well, one of the problems that Yan tries to solve is the toolbar usability in a
narrow window. I think that collapsing some related buttons to group buttons
when the window gets narrow, is much better solution than what we're doing
currently (putting everything in one popup menu). Keep in mind that the current
implementation requires two clicks anyway (open the context menu+click on the
menu item), and it also creates a lot of headache like Bug 42029. But I do
agree that it isn't easy to implement.
