a couple months, but when I last did, I almost exclusively was forced to 

use the text dialog instead of the toolbar, which was frustrating.


Yes, it very much needs an overhaul.

I was looking at it as part of converting all the toolbars to stock. Much of what is going on there is the code stealing events and trying to manually do everything, instead of fitting into existing GTK/GTKmm widgets and behavior.

If anyone wants to look into this before I get time to address it, please drop me a line and we can coordinate info and timing.
