Here's the answer to both questions at once:  By using kdelibs fully, your 
app is easier to write, and your app will look and act more like a KDE 
application.

To create menubars and toolbars you should use the XML GUI system. There is 
a tutorial for it at 
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/xmlui/preface.html

Doing it this way means a lot less work for you, because you don't have to 
manage the menubars and toolbars yourself.

Notice that in addition to the KStandardActions in kdelibs, there are 
game-specific ones in libkdegames' kstdgameaction.h

Examples of games using XML GUI are Megami and Atlantik.
