I agree with this.  I too think it would be best to have buttons only
for the layers/channels/paths dialogs, since the others are not used as
much and their functions can be accessed by the right-click menu.  (Not
for the Tool Options right now, but that could easily be done.)

I would be interested to know more about why it could not
be done.  In my view, every unnecessary edge we can get
rid of is a gain.
