 Replying to [comment:3 martinl]:
 > > is it possible to grey them (vdigit & wxnivz) out in the list instead
 of removing them? if not, having them pop up an explaination box? that way
 people don't pull their hair out trying to find them somewhere else
 because they remember they had seem them somewhere before..

 extra work...

 Another approach:

  * don't remove items from toolbar's combobox
  * after choosing e.g. 'vdigit', show dialog which explains to the user
 that the extension is not available.
  * switch back to '2D view'

 Would this be better from user point of view?
