I agree that a button on the toolbar for changing direction would be better.

Clicking on the chequer beside each players name already changes the turn. I
find this great for the purpose, especially when setting up positions. So,
should clicking on the new arrow do it too? I'm not sure.
One thing GnuBg lacks is the ability to do a complete player swap from top to
bottom. I.e. name, position, match id, on roll, dice, all swap from player 1 to
player 0. Perhaps the new button could do this. (I recently received a copy of
one of my matches where I was the top player. It drove me nuts trying to review
it. Michael Depreli kindly swapped it over for me using Snowie.
While I'm on the subject of user interface, I have a suggestion for edit mode.
Clicking on the dice roll area should both Set Turn and bring up the dice roll
dialogue box. At present, clicking on either dice roll area brings up the
dialogue and sets the dice for the current player on roll.
I think my way is more intuitive, and cuts out the need for a separate step to
set who is on roll. What do others think?
