I don't think this would be a good idea. I actually use it extensively, 
I know of at least dozens of my clients, professionals and amateurs, who 
use it. Strategically, this would also be the wrong this to do as we are 
trying to encourage the use of the OASIS opendoc formats. Why would we 
then sheepishly hide the button that we advocate? There is also a "Send 
.doc " button that people may use. I usually tell people to use the send 
.doc and inform the recipients that there is an opendoc format that will 
prevent their files from ever being incompatible from MSO. I also 
encourage them to tell everyone else. We can then all advocate the 
opendoc formats.

I would not change this. This is changing the roots of the existence of 
the LibO. We can do better than this and not give up. Let's all 
advocate, we are 300 million users, aren't we?

I agree with this, they should not be floating. Isn't there a setting 
for this? Maybe the original setting should be a bottom anchor.
