Title:
  [SRU] Rhythmbox: Cannot add more music after a collection has been
  created

Status in rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar source package in Focal:
  Fix Released
Status in rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Impact]

   * After a music collection has been first initialised with music
     tracks, the user loses the ability to add more tracks at a later
     date with the modern headerbar interface that is the default for
     Ubuntu and Ubuntu Budgie
   * Currently the workaround is unintuitive - they have to disable
     the plugin or change to the traditional interface.  They
     can then add more tracks using Rhythmbox's "Import" button on the
     main view source toolbar.
   * With the headerbar modern interface, Rhythmbox's "Import" button is
     hidden.  Previously the option was accessible via the menu
     which was a Ubuntu specific patch which was dropped at 20.04
   * The fix is not to manipulate the main view source toolbar buttons
     i.e. to leave all buttons such as the Import button visible

  [Test Case]

   * Ensure that the plugin is enabled in preferences and that the
     "modern" tickbox is enabled
   * Use "View - Show Source Toolbar" examine the source toolbar
     shown on the main Music source.
   * Using software-properties-gtk, enable the developer proposed
     repository and install the package
     rhythmbox-plugins-alternative-toolbar
   * Restart rhythmbox.  Check the buttons in the Music Source Toolbar
   * The import button should be visible.  Click the button and import
     more tracks as normal.

  [Regression Potential]

   * I suppose the worse-case scenario is that there is some hidden
     code in the headerbar interface that was expecting one or more
     buttons in the source toolbar to be hidden.  If such code existed
     unexpected functionality might be affected causing the plugin
     to malfunction
   * I've done a code-review and have found no evidence of such function.
   * This has been uploaded to Debian and has been available for a couple
     of weeks - by the time of this SRU release there should be more
     than enough time for both communities to verify that there are no
     adverse affects. 
   * The plugin can easily be disabled by the user or swapped to the alternative
     interfaces available if necessary.
