toolbar icons

Now with the new quickopen- and context-browser stuff, it becomes more and 
more apparent that the default mode for icons in the kdevelop toolbar should 
be "Icons Only".

I'm getting tired of seeing wasty screenshots like this 
http://frinring.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/binspektpart-in-kdevelop.png in 
the internet. The default UI should be better than that, something like this

additional more useful icons.

Other toolbar modes waste tons of vertical space, which is not acceptable in a 
productivity-oriented IDE, and they also waste a lot of horizontal space, 
which is used much better by the context-browser and quickopen line.

So what do you think?

Apart from that, that screenshot shows that the toolbar area switchers are 
still there. Isn't it time to remove those?

Greetings, David
