I didn't get any reply on this so after days of examining the code and looking at the code in other apps and not finding the problem, I had suddenly had the insight to delete the ~/.kde/share/config/apprc file in my home directory. Then the new toolbar appeared. Toolbar setting are saved in apprc and all my experiments had completely munged it up. HTH some other n00b developer. :) Cheers -Robin -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Atwood.
