The show stopper comes with the task change: What is helpful for one task is in the way for other tasks, where the buttons become useless, many of them greyed out. So please, tell me how you made them context sensitive.
i do not need to make anything context sensitive. if a button is greyed out i do not have to click it since i'm probably doing a task that doesn't require it to be clicked.

Second worse bug in the current interface: Any customization, e.g. an edit of the tip-text, makes it lose it's locale dependency. If I customize the English toolbar, the new or changed items will appear in English in the localized UI - if I do it in the localized version, they'll appear localized, when I switch the language to English. How did you solve that issue?
that issue has never been a problem for me.
i have an italian OOo 3.1.1 and i just customize the italian toolbars and menus. i do not switch to other languages.

Another thing is the docking of floating toolbars. The floating windows tend to cover the part of the document you're working on. So you have to dock them. That pushes away the other toolbars and/or bloats the toolbar region. When they disappear again (part task finished) there're either shuffeled other toolbars going (most times partly) into this space, or big areas remain empty.
i've always hated floating toolbars. i never use them in any software.
so, again, this is not a problem for me.

To minimize the ways that the mouse curser has to travel, it's nice to dock some tool bars at the sides or at the bottom. Unfortunately, the broadest ones - Navigator & Stylist only dock innermost, pushing other toolbars at the same side just too far out from the working area. Any idea how to change that?
in my custom settings i have no docked toolbar at the sides or bottom.
i don't feel i need them. i just works with a couple of horizonatal toolbars on the top.

current GUI surely have its bugs but things that are a showstopper to you could be ininfluent to me and viceversa.
however if the bugs you reported are giving you so much troubles why don't you open issues on OOo Issue tracking system?

IMO, that would be detrimental to helping other users on the forums since they won't have my customizations.
interesting... you are not customizing your OOo to fit your needs, just becuase you wanna help other users who don't have your customizations?
kinda masochistic, isn't it?
