Good to hear.

Open question is how to handle multiple axes.  I've considered:

  1) all or one checkbox

  2) just reuse old system (menu select) - but how do we deal with
     active in menu vs active via mouse.  I find the old way
     a bit cumbersome

  3) allow user to select multiple axes with the mouse - maybe make
     the selected axes have thicker borders to indicate selection.
     Hold down CTRL to select multiple active axes.

  4) navigation only applies to axes under point (what we have now in
     toolbar2)

I'm inclined to 1 or 4.  Users would have the option of toolbar :
classic if they really need the multiple axes feature.  1 may be the
best compromise.

Agreed.  Vestigial from gtk.
