Not sure I follow you here, but as I understand it just going on as we
are now would mean we'd have the same toolbar in all N mainwindows?
Regardless of the toolviews shown in each mainwindow? I think that would
be a problem.

I think we should go the eclipse way here, providing only 2 to 5 actions
in the main toolbar for a given xmlgui plugin. Any other actions of that
plugin should go into a plugin-specific toolbar.
