I mean that when using the auto-save-settings feature of kmainwindow,
one should use this kind of code for editing toolbars:

 * void MyClass::slotConfigureToolbars()
 * {
 *   saveMainWindowSettings( KGlobal::config(), "MainWindow" );
 *   KEditToolbar dlg(actionCollection());
 *   connect(&dlg,SIGNAL(newToolbarConfig()),this,SLOT(slotNewToolbarConfig()));
 *   dlg.exec();
 * }
 *
 * void MyClass::slotNewToolbarConfig() // This is called when OK, Apply or Defaults is clicked
 * {
 *    ...if you use any action list, use plugActionList on each here...
 *    createGUI();
 *    applyMainWindowSettings( KGlobal::config(), "MainWindow" );
 * }

Note the saveMainWindowSettings / applyMainWindowSettings calls.
