The order of the buttons is more or less a gtk/gnome standard
and this behavior with the space key and the toolbar is a gtk+ "feature".
I looked for a way to disable it, but I could not find anything that
worked. However, if you put the following into a gschemrc file:
(toolbars "disabled")
then you can completely disable the toolbar and you won't get this annoying
behavior. If somebody wants to spend some time looking into how to
disable the space "feature", let me know.
Also, I would be willing to change the toolbar button order to make the
pointer first, but there has to be some agreement amongst people here.
