SUMMARY

As a curious person, I saw the option to hide the toolbars in Konsole and I
thought: "Wait... There's only one toolbar! I wonder what's the difference
between the Main Toolbar and a Session Toolbar...". Turns out that if you have
the hamburger menu (which is the default now), and you hide the Session
Toolbar, the hamburger menu gets hidden as well, and there's no way of finding
the option to bring the Session Toolbar back unless you also happen to know the
shortcut to bring the menu bar back (CTRL+SHIFT+M).

There are a few possible solutions, but they all bring one drawback or another:

1. Make hiding the toolbar still keep the hamburger menu there. Drawback:
Effectively you won't hide the toolbar because it will still need to be there
to accommodate the hamburger menu. To completely hide it, you'll also need to
enable the menu bar to hide the hamburger menu.

2. Do the same as suggestion 1 but show the menu bar automatically when you
hide the toolbar. Pros: Hiding the toolbar won't be a two step process anymore.
Drawbacks: This option would overlap with the option to "Show Menubar". E.g:

1. Hide the toolbar (which would show the menu bar)
2. Uncheck "Show Menubar" to hide it as well

You'll get an empty UI, bringing back the same problem of "how do I bring
things back to normal?". An empty UI is only useful when running scripts that
call Konsole, so disallowing that in normal usage would be fine (should
probably be brought back for scripts only with a --hideui command line option).
If this suggestion is chosen, it would be wise to change the name from "Show
Menubar" to "Switch to Hamburger Menu".

3. Disallow hiding the toolbar in the first place (this will make Konsole
inconsistent with other applications, like Dolphin, but would work in
principle).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Hamburger Menu > Settings > Toolbars shown
2. Deselect "Session Toolbar"

OBSERVED RESULT
Hamburger menu is gone and there's no menu bar to replace it. That means you
can't also re-enable the toolbar unless you know the shortcut to bring the menu
bar.

EXPECTED RESULT
The Hamburger Menu should always be visible when no menu bar is available, even
if the user wants to hide the toolbar.
