further debeveling

hi all...

in the default plastik style we ship with those lines between toolbars
 (called "toolbar separators" in the code, but "toolbar frames" by some)
 turned on. they add to the visual noise and add little to no apparent value.

it was suggested by one person on irc that they help them when dragging
toolbars around. if that is the case, i'd suggest that that is done so rarely
compared to regular usage that it's not a useful case to optimize for (and i
further wonder at how useful those lines are even there)

since kde 3.5 will be around for quite a while, i'd like to commit a change
to this default to make the default kde[1] look a lot less noisy and more
"calm". this allows the functional content to appear with less competition.

thoughts?

[1] you can always turn the lines back on in the control panel
