I meant the function of this bar. It acts as a taskbar/window list.
Indeed, I think it should be named after its function not after the used
C++-class  (KToolBar) bit this is not an important thing. I only wanted 
to describe why (I think that) it's at the bottom of the window.

Please look at http://www.xchat.org/files/screenshots/xc_shot4.png 

In konsole (and xchat) you have some virtual windows, switchable by
buttons on the tollbar. They are collected by a window which you can
move on the desktop. In xchat it is possible to release every of the
virtual windows into an own window, eg to place it an another desktop. 
And you can put it back to the grouped window (called "relink" there). 

And there is another nice feature: it is possible to change the order of
the buttons. See the screenshot on the upper left corner:
- red cross: closes the window
- green arrows: move it left/right on the toolbar
- the other :) : release / relink

gnu-client is a tool for Emacs which allows it to open documents inside
an existing instance of emacs. If you do somthing like 'gnu-client foo'
than the file foo will be opened in the existing emacs. Its like 
'netscape -remote $URL'.
