Thanks Bart (and Chris) for the response. Bart is correct about the button states, sorry for not being more explicit. I remember Cameron Shorter posting an architecture for a button bar way back, may have been on the defunct webgis mailing list shortly after the FOSS4G 2006 meeting. I've got something I wrote based on that design (from what I can remember) that mostly works and could be made stand-alone (depends slightly on the x dhtml library for event registration).
I'll have a look at the EXTJS toolbar too.
