As I wrote: the old dialog was seen as looking too squeezed and awkward.
I also preferred the old one, but I can live with the new one. It's not
a major issue.

[Configuration menu now in extra button of toolbars]

Mainly because there is no space between/besides the buttons where you
could click on and right click on a button shouldn't open a context menu
for the toolbar (that's counter intuitive). The arrow button is easily
operable, not in any way more complicated than a context menu and it's
easier to find. Why invest additional effort to make a toolbar
"right-clickable"?

I use that feature since OOo1.1 was released, first by assigning a basic
macro to the shortcut, now with the new OOo2.0 features I can directly
edit into the xml file for the keyboard configuration.

If you are interested, here's the macro that you can assign to
SHIFT-CTRL-V in Writer:

In OOo2.0 you can also go to the "share" directory of your OOo
installation, there you go to
config/soffice.cfg/modules/swriter/accelerator/en-US (or any other
language subdir of your choice) and open the file "default.xml". If you
already changed your keyboard configuration you must open the file
"current.xml" in the same subdir (config/...) of the "user" directory of
your OOo user profile (it is automatically created from the file in
"share" when you change the keyboard configuration the first time).

In the directory you reached now please search for ".uno:PasteSpecial"
and replace it by ".uno:ClipboardFormatItems?SelectedFormat:short=1".
Of course OOo and the OOo Quickstarter (as you are using Windows)
shouldn't run while you edit the files.

Damned, no chance to be a good boy scout (a good action each day). :-)
