Man this is great stuff! I love working with Andras because it's like we can 
read each other's minds sometimes. However this is really strange. I seem to 
recall that if the toolbar is there it's got to be loaded because that's 
where the toolbars are. I'm curious and I'm going to look into it, however it 
turns out the answer us much much simpler!

Here's how Achems razor fits into our design thinking... While pondering this 
I had just done some work on http://kommander.kdewebdev.org and I happened to 
notice that there was a custom toolbar Andras developed loaded in the 
project. First of all anything can be done, but while I was wondering how I 
saw that it was done... Then I went to look for it, then I looked in the 
project file... Then I remember one of the features of Quanta, and it's much 
easier to use than hunting down files.

Set up your toolbar and any files you want to open by default and save this as 
the default Project View. Project Views are really cool because you can open 
groups of files all at the same time, but in fact it will also load toolbars. 
When the project is loaded the default view is loaded and if that contains a 
toolbar it is loaded too. Viola! 

Who's got the coolest web development tool in the world? ;-)
