As as sidenote, I would add that my (minor) concern about moving the
Customize Toolbar and Text/Icons/Text+Icons options off a View>Toolbars
menu and into the Preferences dialog is that Preferences dialogs
inevitably vary widely between applications.  So we'll end up with a
couple of standard functions that are common to most/all apps but will
appear somewhat differently in each of them.  

If anyone can think of a good way around that, please let me know so I
can write about it in the Toolbars section... do we need to go as far as
specifying what the relevant controls should look like in the
Preferences dialog?

Cheeri,
Calum.
