--- Comment #4 from Roman Gilg <subdiff at gmail.com> ---
Our toolbar buttons are arbitrarily placeable. The "segmented controls" are in
reality two separate toggle buttons. But when NOT being in active state a
toggle button shouldn't be visually different from a push button, since on its
own its type of action is no different than that of a push button (triggering
something).

The right way under the constraints of toolbar buttons being arbitrarily
placeable is to separate "segmented controls" from other ones by using
separators. Indeed my Gwenview does it this way in the default toolbar
configuration.

But it's not optimal since it can look somewhat weird with many separators.
Maybe we could think of a mechanism to check if toggle buttons with mutually
exclusive functionality are sitting next to each other and in this case paint
your proposed frame around them instead of having the app developers/user use
separators all other the place. Would be a bigger change in code though and I
don't know if it's possible.
