Hi,

The current alacarte UI [1] mixes application and dialog interfaces.
I'd like to make it a dialog but that seems to make adding features
like undo/redo and cut/copy/paste impossible. There is just no where
to put the buttons for all that. To make it an application I'd have to
drop the bottom row of buttons and add a toolbar.

I'm not sure that you'd /need/ to add a toolbar... it's not a prerequisite for an application to have a toolbar. It would probably be fine just to drop the three dialog buttons, and make sure all the functions were available on the menus.

Cheeri,
Calum.
