Are you sure? There are many applications with more than five tooolbar
buttons...

Ok, but in that case, only the most necessary one should be displayed by
default. And it still doesn't solve the orientation issue.

Also, will you make buttons insensitive when they cannot be accessed?
For example, the disconnect button should probably be insensitive when
there is no call in progress and noone is calling. Likewise, the connect
button should probably be insensitive when no host is entered. And so
on.
