The location item beign turned into just a text area when the toolbar is viewed
as text only makes this item virutall useless in this mode. Where as hiding th
icons woudl nomally make room for longer urls to show up inthe location field it
become just a placeholder with no real value at that point.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.chose 'text only' for the toolbar display options.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
it hid the address in the location item

Expected Results:  
welp, since the location isnt really a button anyway, and since its just text
anyway, it deosnt make sense for it to change its display if you go to text
only. Perhaps the icon shoudl be hidden but thats about it. Ideally the location
shoudl be on its own 'line' alling for the maximum about of display of the page
url, and whol object coule be toggled on and off.

I like pepperoni pizza.

Well here's what I would prefer: I'd rather just have a location bar at the top
of the window, below the toolbar, and I'd use the preference to hide the
window's NSToolbar most of the time. I really liked the feature from old
netscape where the location bar was its own gig. Now its also cool to cram the
location into the toolbar. That is the best default.

By adding a Location toolbar on its own - it presents an awkard situation where
the user could have the location view in both the NSToolbar with the window, and
in a location bar. Solution: If the user chooses to display the Location bar on
its own, then it should disable it from the NSToolbar.

This would also take care of users who prefer the text toolbar mode, which is
nearly useless without the location control.
