Hi all,
there are lot of core plugins and much more contributed. Keep all them in
single toolbar/menu decrease usability. I remember we have several
discussions about that, and one of the results - Raster and Database menus.
But most plugins don't used appropriate menus, see [0]. So after some offlist
discussion with Paolo I start to work on moving plugins to correct menus. As
a part of this work I also implement some new functionality:
- new methods to place plugin buttons to the Raster toolbar;
- new Vector menu (hidden by default, appears after loading first plugin. Same
as we have with Database menu) and Vector toolbar. Methods to add plugins
to this menu/toolbar;
- Database toolbar with appropriate methods.
Also I move most of core plugins to different menus, depending on
their functions.
Unchanged plugins are (they still located under Plugins menu):
- eVis
- MapServer export
- OpenStreetMap
- RoadGraph
- Coordinate capture
- Globe
- GRASS
All this changes available in reorganize-plugins branch from my fork [1]

Comments and opinions are welcome. If there are no objections, I can commit
this to master.
Thanks
