I didn't put the toolbar bug on this list, because we had already
come to agreement about what to do there, it's just blocking because
it a lot of work to implement it in a way that I'm comfortable with.

(It's probably pretty unlikely that it will make 2.2.0 at this
point, I'll post a list later today of the open bugs and which
ones I think we'll have to put off.)

Of course, if the intended toolbar behavior has changed as compared
to what is in the bug, that's another matter...
