Thanks, below seems concrete enough. Gives something to talk about. Just 
saying something is better w/o saying what (esp. if likely nobody here
uses it) does not improve things for konqueror IMO

Hmm, but main toolbar has a QSpacerItem to keep the spinning button right...
doesn't work for other toolbars too...indeed I recall this working in the
past.

Yes, that would be very cool if apps could be extended by scripts. This is
already doable with kjsembed IIRC. So far as I understand it, it does mean
however, that exposed object to the script should use the signal/slot or
property that Qt offers and signal/slot is limited to a few signatures only.
Hmm..me thinking of any usage :-)...ok a script that turns all files to
lowercase, or that kills all flash/java applets...
So this would mean an 'Available action' that stays available and has a
way to attach a script to it, preferable interactive for method iteration
and on-the-fly debugging/testing. It's a 'Configure Toolbars' extention, so
all applications would benefit.
Wow, where can get a copy of MS-Office :-) Seriously, this sounds nice indeed.
