A new one gives you the versatibility to put the new minibar in each of the 4 sides of the screen, but obviously you don't want it in the bottom and you don't want it on the left or right side either since it's a huuuuuuuuuuuge was of space there, so you are going to have it on top almost always. If we have it on top almost always, i think it makes sense for it to be part of the existing toolbar, so you can actually put in the order you want, e.g. after the zoom combo.

For exactly that reason (versatility), although now having thought about it I agree that having it at a side won't work and at the bottom is pointless.  Having a separate toolbar also would allow it to be floated, although I never myself use any KDE toolbars that way and I'm not sure if anyone else would want to.

So the page tool only appears in the toolbar if the page bar is hidden;  if it is shown, then the page number and size label appears there as before.  The MiniBar is reparented in Part::slotShowBottomBar() when the page bar is shown or hidden.
