Hi Chris,

I wouldn't remove anything that is accessible from the toolbars. In the
future, we plan to go for wxAUI and make the toolbars optional and
configurable by the user. IMHO all configuration options must be present
somewhere (preferably at the most logical locations) in the options dialog.

Cheers,
Tom
