You're right :) . But that shouldn't prevent the toolbar from
appearing (under the condition that it is created before the dialog
is shown) . loadState() doesn't create the toolbar after all, it
just applies a couple of options (and calls show()/hide() , which
however shouldn't be necessary in your code given the above
mentioned constraint) .

But I guess you want to have full control of the toolbar creation,
to place it wherever appropriate in your dialog. In that case just
inherit from KXMLGUIBuilder, re-implement the createContainer method
and create your toolbar if element.tagName().lower() is "toolbar" .
