[Kstars-devel] toolbars

[Jason Harris]

Hi Radian,

I like your idea of adding something about the toolbars to the startup wizard, 
I'll definitely consider that.

I agree with you and Jasem about the View toolbar; it will remain in the 
default setup.  I think the new "Tools toolbar" I'm contemplating will be 
hidden by default, though.
