I have created a small patch which adds two functions to configure the 
toolbars.

1) How do you verify the parent is a KMainWindow?

2) How do you make it so when you right click on a toolbar it calls this?

3) How do you have #2 and this setup automaticly if there is a toolbar and the 
application hasn't added a KStdAction::configureToolbars on its own?  Would 
this be done in createGUI() ?
