commit 80146060a36307d02c76ba661b999d19296a0542
Author: Ulf-D. Ehlert <ulfehlert svn gnome org>

Group toolbox description
After renaming "Toolbox" to "Tools" (commit 46ec6f09 2010-03-13) the
description of the toolbox (icons, color & indicator area, tool options)
should be grouped together.
Also, add new toolbox screenshots (GIMP-2.6.7, GTK-2.18, GNOME-2.28);
remove XDS dialog (comment out for now); minor changes to XML source.
