Hmmm maybe have a functions called manageStatusBar(bool) and 
manageToolBars(bool).  That way developers could still have control and 
choose if they want KMainWindow to manage it or to do it themselves still.

How could you fix the bug of KMainWindow not knowing when the statusbar is 
hidden/shown with that approch?

Also KToggleToolBarAction is marked as "@obsolete. toolbar actions are created 
automatically now in the Settings menu. Don't use this anymore"
