Removing these separators will make the toolbars on Windows look
terrible. I just add separators to the auxiliary horizontal toobar in
PCBNew because the comboboxes are too crowded. They look fine on Linux
with out the separators. These may need to be added depending on the
system and/or display size. Yuck!

This where the grid setting takes place when you select the grid size
from the popup menu and and snapping the cursor to the grid code
resides. In PCBNew, there is also the event handlers that select the
grid from the tool bar combobox that call down to
WinEDA_DrawFrame::OnSelectGrid(). The actual grid drawing code is in
performed in WinEDA_DrawPanel::DrawBackGround() in common/drawpanel.cpp.
I am in the process of cleaning this up so that there is only one event
handler to update the grid size no matter what action was used to select
the grid size.
