Another complaint - this QSpacerItem isn't visible in 'toolbar editor'.  
I moved Animated logo to address bar because I noticed 'spaciness' of 
this item and very often I have tv window in upper-right corner of 
screen and still want to see if page is loaded or not.

For me it would be enough if I could create toolbar MyActions, and put 
there buttons: Script1, Script2, Script3 and connect them with khotkeys 
action or shell scripts (more KDE way would be probably .desktop file 
which could use shell script).

Quanta has user toolbars but they are tab-style, not standard KDE 
toolbars.

ps. I wrote: 'I could turn MS-Word into quite decent HTML editor'.  
Actually I did it and wasn't only person which tried it. Few years later 
(I was already vimmer) come across more extended MS-Word template with 
toolbars, dialogs and even simple syntax highlighting.
