Comment:

 > Despite lots of potential information in this bar, a theme owner may not
 want to see this in his site. So there should be an option in ''Dashboard
 > Settings'' to show/hide this.

 There's an option in user profile: [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-admin/user-
 edit.php#L224

 There's also a function and a filter for theme and plugin developers:
 [[BR]]
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/show_admin_bar [[BR]]
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/show_admin_bar

 > Leftmost anchor element of this bar is '''site-name''' that redirects
 the user to ​http://example.com/wpurl/wp-admin. However there is another
 link just below it (Dashboard) that redirect to the same link.

 This is intentional, see #19184.

 > This admin bar is always visible no matter how deep we scroll in a site.
 So lets assume, an user (say Bob) has scrolled down for 1000 lines. Then
 Bob wish to return to homepage.

 This is partially implemented in #18758. A click on an empty area in
 Toolbar would take you to the top of the page.

 > The logout button works as follows: From ​http://example.com?p=111 page
 if Bob click on logout then Bob will be taken to ​http://example.com/wpurl
 /wp-login.php?action=logout. From here Bob have to click to '''back to
 Site-name''' link to return to homepage or type ​http://example.com?p=111
 in address bar to return to this page. This is distracting for the user
 IMO.

 The user needs a way to make sure the operation was successful, and the
 redirect to `wp-login.php` makes that explicit.

 > '''So long story short''': there should be a hook for the logout link in
 admin bar, taking input on where to redirect once Bob logout.

 The Toolbar uses `wp_logout_url()` function, which has `logout_url`
 filter: [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-includes/general-
 template.php#L199

 You can use it this way to redirect back to the current page:
 {{{
 function redirect_on_logout_24074( $logout_url, $redirect ) {
         if ( empty( $redirect ) )
                 $logout_url = add_query_arg( 'redirect_to', urlencode(
 $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), $logout_url );
         return $logout_url;
 }
 add_filter( 'logout_url', 'redirect_on_logout_24074', 10, 2 );
 }}}
