I don't get it, if you're saying you click on the toolbar item to
start up the minibuffer command, then you have indeed used the mouse,
and Robin is still correct.
If you are saying the toolbar commands can be invoked without using
the mouse, then the toolbar isn't really offering any vital service
there other than just advertising the availability of a keyboard
command.  In which case it's really the keyboard command you used not
the toolbar, so Robin is still correct.   And in this case the toolbar
is just sitting there eating up valuable screen real estate.  So
Robin's still correct.

Emacs has a toolbar too, and like everything in Emacs all the buttons
correspond to existing keyboard commands.  If you know the commands
then the toolbar is just a waste of space.  I think this is the point-
of-view Robin's comment is coming from.

These are really implemented?  And incremental search is not?  The
priorities seem a little inverted there.  Maybe it was just trivially
simple to get those working... hoping so at least.
