Since kde4 is still under rapid development and most distributions tend to 
be a six-month feature release (plus a number of monthly bugfix releases) 
behind as shipped, when you're talking about a specific feature, it's 
generally useful to specify the feature version and sometimes the bugfix 
version as well.  So, for instance, I'm running the latest kde4, 4.5.2, 
which is kde4, feature release .5, bugfix ..2.

Anyway, with 4.5.2 at least, it's possible to unlock the toolbar 
positions, drag the toolbars where you want them, then lock positions.

The caveat is that if you toggle a toolbar on/off it screws up the 
positions again, and you have to drag them into preferred configuration 
once more.  So make sure you have the toolbars you want shown, put them in 
the position you want, lock the toolbars, and don't toggle toolbars on and 
off any more.

That works here.

One thing that I /have/ noticed, tho, is that if your $KDEHOME dir (~/.kde/ 
by default as shipped by kde, tho some distributions change that to 
~/.kde4/) is a symlink to some other location, stuff like customized 
toolbar configs, etc, seem to break.  I initially (back with 4.2 and 4.3) 
had mine as a symlink, pointing to ~/kde/ (no leading dot hiding the dir, 
since I like to see it), and some stuff, including but not limited to 
toolbar customizations, wouldn't work the way it was supposed to.  But 
along about 4.4 I changed my setup, setting and exporting KDEHOME=~/kde/ 
so I didn't have to use the symlink, and things work better now.  Perhaps 
you're running into the same symlink issue I had?
