Sure.
Now, you can really edit the toolbar items more flexible which means
you can remove any of the items, not only predefined groups of items.
And you can reorder the items as you wish.

Maybe I'll write a GUI editor at some point or ideally someone else
will do. But IMO it's not too hard to edit the XML file.


Regards,
Enrico
