My 2 cents:

"[Cc]heck [bB]ox"        129    preferred forms / aspell ok
"[Cc]heck[bB]ox"         115    visual dictionary

Revert to preferred forms -> consistent with "combo box", seems to be
winning ever so slightly ;-)

"[Cc]ombo [bB]ox"         61    not in preferred forms / aspell ok /
visual dictionary
"[Cc]ombo[bB]ox"          34,

ok

"[Cc]ontext [mM]enu"     241    not in preferred forms / aspell ok  /
visual dictionary
"[Cc]ontext[mM]enu"        5
"[pP]opup [mM]enu"        67    preferred forms - Unify to context menu?
"[pP]opup[mM]enu"          1

Yes, I'm pretty sure we use "context menu" pretty much everywhere.

"[dD]ialog [bB]ox"       200   not in preferred forms / aspell ok /
visual dictionary
"[dD]ialog[bB]ox"          0

please add

"[dD]rop [dD]own [bB]ox"  89   preferred forms / aspell ok / visual dictionary
"[dD]rop[dD]own [bB]ox"    4
"[dD]rop[dD]own[bB]ox"     0

ok, fix the 4 holdouts

"[iI]con [lL]ist"          2
"[iI]con[lL]ist"           0

ok assuming the former is the preferred form

"[iI]nput [bB]ox"         11    preferred form "text box"?
"[iI]nput[bB]ox"           0
"[iI]nput [fF]ield"       32    preferred form "text box"?
"[iI]nput[fF]ield"         0

yes, please

"[lL]ist [bB]ox"          25    not in preferred forms / aspell ok /
visual dictionary
"[lL]ist[bB]ox"           25

I'd suggest we go with "List Box" since all the other Boxes aren't combined

"[mM]enu [bB]ar"          59    aspell ok
"[mM]enu[bB]ar"          233    preferred forms / visual dictionary

If I were king for a day I'd go with aspell on this one.  Outside of
computing, words never get combined like with "bar" like this—it's
"chocolate bar", not "chocolatebar" or "wine bar", not "winebar".  I'm
not sure what makes computing "bars" such special snowflakes.

But it seems the rest of the project has decided on "menubar", so
let's go with that.

"[pP]rogress [bB]ar"      13    not in preferred forms / visual dictionary
"[pP]rogress[bB]ar"        0

please add

"[rR]adio [bB]utton"      40    not in preferred forms / aspell ok /
visual dictionary
"[rR]adio[bB]utton"        9    (only kommander->obsolete)

please add

"[sS]croll [bB]ar"        10    not in preferred forms / aspell ok
"[sS]croll[bB]ar"         57    visual dictionary

scrollbar -> for consistency with "menubar" and it's clearly used more

"[sS]pin [bB]ox"          17    not in preferred forms / aspell ok /
visual dictionary
"[sS]pin[bB]ox"           39

Spin Box -> for consistency among the "boxes", though there will be a
lot of docbooks to fix.  :-/

"[sS]tatus [bB]ar"       126    preferred forms / aspell ok / visual dictionary
"[sS]tatus[bB]ar"        139

I guess "statusbar" for consistency with the other "bars", though this
spelling isn't nearly as widespread as the others...

"[tT]ext [bB]ox"         204    preferred forms / aspell ok / visual dictionary
"[tT]ext[bB]ox"            4

ok, fix those 4

"[tT]itle [bB]ar"         17    preferred forms / aspell ok
"[tT]itle[bB]ar"          49    visual dictionary

titlebar -> consistency among bars, clear winner

"[tT]ool [bB]ar"           6
"[tT]ool[bB]ar"         1125    preferred forms / aspell ok / visual dictionary

toolbar -> same

Works for me.  :-)
