    We could just ship QGIS with a different default configuration:<br>
    <br>
    layer toolbar: hidden<br>
    <br>
    what would the "single add data button" do? open a browser window?
    that would be pretty easy.<br>
    <br>
    regardless of this discussion, I like the ideas of:<br>
    <br>
     * fixing (or creating a list of) things that are missing from the
    browser<br>
     * unifying the dialogs for adding layers<br>
