The patch (https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/pull/118
<https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/pull/118>) simply adds
priorities and changes the order the tools appear in the toolbar.
It doesn't change which tool is default.
Avo2 desperately needs a settings dialog, and that's a reasonable thing to add
(i.e., start with a default of "view" for some people). I think the Avo1
default is pretty good for most - if you open a file, switch to view, if you're
creating something new, let the user edit off the bat.

To me, this implies that the cartesian editor should be a bit smarter - e.g.,
if it just changed the atoms a lot, it should switch to the view tool.
I'm happy to listen to other points of view on what could be done smarter, or
what's not intuitive! (And yes, I'm happy to have a settings dialog to set this
if people feel interested.)
