It's available at http://www.zeitgeistmedia.net/gimp/gimpstreamline2.png . You're right on this one, I would suggest to split the toolbox, upper segment containing logical groups, e.g. paint tools, and on click, the lower segment contains the corresponding tools, like brush, pen, airbrush, ink and text. This would reduce mouse movement, as you suggested, while still making it easier to find the tool you need. > > 6.)
