I don't really agree with that - perhaps toolbar key navigation
shouldn't be via mnemonics, but certainly it should exist. Calum's bug
report on this in bugzilla suggests that tab-navigation of toolbars be
allowed. But mnemonics make sense to me too for toolbars with text.

Note that the mnemonics work only if they are visible - if you set
your toolbars to icons only so you can't see the labels, then the
mnemonic is automatically disabled.

Yes, having separate labels for the two might be nice.
