This is an option.

Another option is to have two toolbars.  One static - not changing
with the view - where we can find the actual "New ..." button plus
some load, save & close buttons.  A second one, below the first one,
context sensitive to genius, canvas & drgeo.

Concerning Dr Geo this will not resolve my problem. The second toolbar
can be used to put the categories (Point, Line, ...) but I need a
third to display the category the user selected.

Aaron propose i put an option menu on the toolbar to select a category
contend, not sure it's handy.

If you have any idea concerning this issue it's time to share it.
