I have to say, I added that button in the 3D view, and that's not the best 
idea I ever had :)
I think there were no toolbars back in the days. Now I would definitely 
move that button to a toolbar.

That being said, the toolbars on top are a little crowded now. Little known 
fact, there is now a secondary toolbar-set (GetSecondaryToolbarSet()), at 
the botton of the window, when the animation toolbar is. You can add a 
toolbar that way too, and the policy seems like the icons over there are 
smaller I think.

I'll think about it, but I can't launch PV right now.

What I wanted to add is :
         - you don't need to touch the "Window -> Toolbars" menu anymore, I 
changed that, it's all done automatically. If you create a toolbar, don't 
forget to give it a name with SetName(), then add it to the main toolbart 
set with a default visibility of 0. As long as it has a name, it will 
appear in "Window -> Toolbars" automagically, and its visibility status 
will be serialized to the registry settings for you. That's neat.
         - please refrain from toolbaring/buttoning for a day or two, that 
would be great :) I have some "interesting" changes coming up :)
