 Adding the advanced button to the bar gives some very handy options in
 2.1.3, including the "paste from text" and "paste from Word" buttons that
 would eliminate a whole lot of problematic usage. It also adds semantic
 pulldowns that people can use to make headings, paragraphs, etc. Not
 displaying that secondary bar by default is a good thing, admittedly, but
 relying on a keypress that's unusual (alt-shift-v in firefox) and not
 cross-browser (it's just alt-v in some versions of IE) is annoying.

 It's well worth the minor amount of toolbar space to have a button for a
 second dropdown bar. Even if it does cause user confusion, which I don't
 think will occur, as people are used to multiple toolbars (thanks to
 Word).

 The specific change required is to wp-includes/js/tiny_mce_config.php. The
 line that defines $mce_buttons is an array of strings.

 The string 'wp_adv_start' defines the split point between the normal
 toolbar and the advanced hidden toolbar. The string 'wp_adv' is the button
 to hide/unhide that bar. So having 'wp_adv' after 'wp_adv_start' makes
 little sense anyway, as this puts that button on the hidden toolbar, where
 it can never actually be clicked.

 So, proposed change:
 -Move 'wp_adv' directly before 'wp_adv_start'.
 -Eliminate 'separator' after 'wp_adv' and 'wp_adv_start' for looks only.

 This works very well in 2.1.3. Have not tested with 2.2.
