I'm not sure. What I need to know is that if the toolbar and actions are 
created in the code can they be saved and restored from the .ui file 
without needing a mainwindow in the .ui for them? As I understand if 
you work in designer, you must have a mainwindow to create actions and 
toolbars. What I need is something like this in the current code:
- load an XML file describing the toolbar
<!DOCTYPE kpartgui SYSTEM "kpartgui.dtd">
<kpartgui name="quanta" version="2">
  <ToolBar tabname="CSS" noMerge="1" name="css" >
    <text>CSS</text>
    <Action name="insert_css" />
    <Action name="tag_color" />
  </ToolBar>
</kpartgui>
- create a KXMLGUIClient from the above XML file
- create the actions from there in the code and insert them to the 
actionCollection of the created KXMLGUIClient 
- add the KXMLGUIClient to the user interface itself (show the toolbar) 
with guiFactory()->addClient(toolbarGUI);

And the other way around (remove from the UI, save the XML and get the 
information of what actions were on the toolbar itself).
