User actions/toolbars plugin

Hi Jens,


 I have some good news. :-)

The idea was excellent: it works.
I'd send a full screenshot, but for some reasons I cannot connect to 
kdewebdev.org to upload. So here is a small one.

This works as well. ;-)

Of course what I've done is far from being really usable. The actions 
are not ported, only loading is done and it also has some issues, like:
- the icons are loaded from $KDEDIR/share/apps/kdevelop/toolbar
- if the holder toolbar size changes, it is not noticed
- for some reasons the icons appear quite slow on the toolbar (visible 
only the first time)
- the user toolbar has the big tabwidget even if no user toolbars are 
loaded

Good is that I didn't had to make big changes in this code in order to 
make it work.

BTW, how can one disable editing of a toolbar?

Andras
