--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Hmmn, I can see some appeal to doing this for MUFFIN using a Notebook Bar.
Unfortunately the framework of the Customize dialog has not been expanded to
allow users to conveniently configure any of the Notebook Bar GUI constructs.

Absent a Customize dialog ability to customize the Notebook Bar modes (bug
101513) replacement of the Single Mode toolbar (it is present in Writer, Calc,
Impress adjusted component) would not be good UX.

Is there a UX need to change it now? Not so much, I believe there are other
options offering better UX and clear dev paths. And when customization support
for all MUFFIN framework components (i.e. NB, SideBar, extensions) is
implemented, only then should a Notebook Bar construct be considered viable
replacement for a Toolbar.

Currently the Single Toolbar is fully customizable--the Customize -> Toolbars
target is "Standard (Single Mode)"--which includes addition of context
sensitive button widgets drawn from other context-sensitive toolbars. And it
could be enhanced with framework needed for bug 36976 and bug 106846

Again, IMHO while working with legacy Toolbars of button widgets, to suppress
the UI layout disruption of context-sensitive popup toolbars, implementing a
Sidebar Deck holding a Content Panel packed with context driven toolbar buttons
would be a MUFFIN friendly alternative to the popup toolbars.
