[IPython-dev] Missing toolbar button?

I updated IPython recently and am now running:

{'codename': 'Work in Progress',
 'commit_hash': '4a8c65b',
 'commit_source': 'repository',
 'default_encoding': 'cp1252',
 'ipython_path': 'c:\\dev\\code\\ipython\\IPython',
 'ipython_version': '2.0.0-dev',
 'os_name': 'nt',
 'platform': 'Windows-2008ServerR2-6.1.7601-SP1',
 'sys_executable': 'C:\\dev\\bin\\Python27\\python.exe',
 'sys_platform': 'win32',
 'sys_version': '2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:24:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit 
(AMD64)]'}

When working in the notebook I've now realised that the buttons have changed 
- specifically the Insert Cell buttons have moved to the left which I'm 
agnostic about but there is now no Insert Cell Above button!

I've found this button to be very useful in practice and now find it very 
painful to have to click two buttons (Insert Cell Below / Move Cell Up) 
where previously I could do this with a single click!

Any chance the Insert Cell Above button could be restored?

NB: This problem would be mitigated if I would just use the keyboard 
shortcuts, but I can never remember what they are. The Keyboard shortcuts 
help is a modal dialog and I tend to forget the correct keys as soon as I've 
closed it. It would be a great help if this could be a floating/new window - 
similar to the help pager.

Thanks,
Dave
