Customizing and managing toolbars should be made easier and more 
"intuitive" for users. Everything else fully depends on the 
particular user's use case and may only end in running circle 
endlessly. Also as Alex pointed out this can be addressed with 
profiles already, and where it can't the usage and behavior of 
profiles should be improved as well.

Here the same applies as with toolbars. Furthermore I suggest you to 
focus on hiding the menubar and making the application usable for 
your use case without relying on a visible menubar. The KDE style 
guide requires the menubar by default to cover all actions offered by 
an application independent of any of the many possible use cases. But 
again, feel free to make a Konqueror profile for the specific use 
case you have in mind.
