On a slightly different note, at least in 1.6, it will be possible to simplify some of this. Dang near everything you could ever want has to be defined in the layout file because there's presently no easy way to pull anything else in. In 1.6, on the other hand, we'll have (we do have, in svn) what I call layout "modules" that allow you to customize your layout by pulling in optional stuff. (There's stuff in Document>Settings that allows you to do this.) So, if it seemed wise, some of the less crucial stuff could be pulled out into a module, and then people who needed it could include it, so that by default the drop box would be less crowded. Of course, for 1.5, this isn't an issue.
Will the users be able to perform this customization from Doc>Settings and save the modified layouts, or will they have to edit the layouts themselves? (Or will some luckless soul have to revisit what I'm doing now?) If it's one size fits all, deciding what goes into each module will be NP-hard.
