> @Heiko, Cor: What is your take on this.

Isn't the default layout for most apps to have navigation left, properties
right, and tools on top? And that's what graphic tools do as well with the mode
selection at the left sidebar.

We have two perspectives here: a) Draw is an independent application and should
be compared with other graphic tools, and b) Draw is part of the LO suite
mainly with supporting functions. In case of a) your proposal is debatable but
for b) we should respect and favor consistency over modules. Whether or not you
take the Zonk at option b), Draw is started inline from other LO apps and
should work there as well.

Personally, I don't like single row toolbar in general. Your toolbar contains
of 25 items, many with multiple assignment and not categorized into a few
sections. I'd agree when it was mostly on/off items, which makes sense since
many settings are duplicated at the right sidebar.

To make clear what I mean with categorization of toolbar items: The main menu
has 9 top level items, one of them is File. The standard toolbar contains
always of a couple of items from this files menu, I do not need to check those
for a certain function. This section is followed by Edit functions.
