The customize dialogue allows the user to select "Show: Icons and Text" to
display a text underneath the icons on the toolbars. Tough it costs some space
in the toolbars, the users would appreciate an option to display this text on
the right of the icons.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the customize dialogue.
2. Click on the Dropdown near "Show:".
3. The dropdown produces a list with the items "Icons and Text", "Icons" and Text".

Actual Results:  
The dropdown is missing another item called "Icons and Text on right"

Expected Results:  
Mozilla Firebird should have included an item to align the text of the icons on
the right side.

"History shows again and again,
How nature points up the folly of men;
Bugzilla!"

Confirming enhancement request. Tweaking summary.

Better patch

This patch does everything it's supposed to, and fixes a couple logic errors I
uncovered in the process that got in the way as well.

After browsing with this mode enabled for a little while,
I actually like it a lot. It lets us clearly
label the buttons (which is nice for the less tech-savvy), but doesn't eat up
any vertical space from the content pane.

The intended behaviour this bug is looking for doesn't actually match IE's
toolbar behaviour, but is a valid request itself. Once this enhancement is made
we can go the extra mile and add "Selective text on right," cf bug 258607.

Bugzilla is a "confusing morass"!

I have a mostly-working patch for this. The one hangup is that the setting
doesn't take effect until the user clicks Done. I don't understand why this is,
since the other modes work and my changes are only in CSS pretty much. If anyone
has a suggestion, I would appreciate it. Wasn't I great in Cheers?
