I, too, find it irritant. I dock the table, image and other similar 
toolbars to the bottom of the screen so my text doesn't dance around 
when I move the cursor in and out of tables (and numbering lists...).

As for installing some of those icons permanently, I have done once what 
is the second best thing for a toolbar that I often use, the bullets and 
numbering toolbar:
– In a personal toolbar, I install a copy of the icons I use regularly. 
Because it's a personal toolbar, it stays on the screen as long as I 
want it.
– I have emptied the bullets and numbering toolbar so there is only one 
icon in it. I have docked it to he right side of the standard toolbar.
The result: My personal toolbar, which almost mimics the original 
bullets and numbering toolbar is always there on the left side of the 
screen, along with a few formatting icons. The bullets and numbering 
toolbar pops in and out, but it's only one icon long and sits to the 
right of the standard toolbar, so my text doesn't dance.
