NO !!!
There must be 2 menuitems (not visible at the same time) :
Show toolbar
Hide toolbar
So, you click on the visible action to execute it.
This method should be implemented everywhere where it is possible in KDE.

The worst example is in KBabel, Tools->Diff-> Where you have 2 menuitems (Show 
diff and show original text).
There should be ONE menuitem, showing only what you can do at this moment.
