i didn't mean KActions. i meant "actions" as a generality, as in "i'm going to 
take an action". many applets are not of the "hit a button and something in 
specific happens" nature that embodies what toolbars are for.

the menubar applet in kicker; or the applet handles; or... the panel is far 
more complex and instrumented than a simple toolbar is (or at least, should 
be). menu buttons on toolbars are a far cry from what occurs on the panel, 
and that's not speaking about it from a technical perspective.

User levels don't work. Panel space is valuable. Most users aren't coders.
Odds on that answering your question: too high.
