I'm afraid, I'm to blame for KTopLevelWidget and KToolbar. But it has changed
very much since then, so feel free to contribute your changes.
If a comment is allowed to the above question to Kalle: Please replace insert-
item by a function that warns about "insertItem is obsolute" and then calls
insertButton.
