Generally I prefer to to change the "just merge" into "merge and center". We
need to make sure, any side effects are covered.
I briefly evaluated the current implementation of this patch (with a Novell OOo
2.0.4 build from Jan 12). The feature works as expected, but it does so
initially only. What doesn't work yet:
- The second use of the "merge & center" toolbar icon doesn't restore the
original state. Instead, after breaking a merge apart, the first cell remains
centered (but should be what it was before merging, or - in case a style was
applied - what the default formatting for this style is).
- The menu command toggle indicates "merged and centered" even if the cell is
just merged and not centered. Instead, the command "Merge cells" should work as
a toggle, too. If cells are just merged and not centered, the menu needs to show
that.
- The icon for "merge and center" needs to be changed, because the functionality
has changed. Additionally, Writer offers the functionality to merge cells, too,
and it uses this (old) icon already. 
- The menu should contain the new icon.

So much about the existing functionality. What about the idea of making the menu
button a drop-down button, offering the new functionality in addition to the old
one? Plus, we can offer an additional one, that centers content not only
horizontally, but vertically, too (in case multiple rows are selected).

Just my 2 cents. Lutz.
