I'm glad KWord isn't in that list. It used to have the same problem,
and I think we managed to make its UI more streamlined, showing what's
necessary and not more (actually the border toolbar being hidden confused
a few users, but that's only because toggling frame borders in the frame
dialog is missing).

The same work needs to be done on KPresenter (dunno about Kontour), I
totally agree. Help welcome - this is basically about reorganizing the .rc
file, no need to know C++ to do that!

David.
