Ok.
Tentative patch:

[gonzalo@nautilus write]$ git diff toolbar.py
diff --git a/toolbar.py b/toolbar.py
index d15f110..db3945c 100644

I think wold be better if the Normal style is at the top. But i can
change it in another patch if you agree.

I think was close the activity, but now is Ctrl-Q.
Anyway, the insert image dialog (the ObjectChooser) is modal, and must
be closed
before closing the activity. I think it is not a bug.
