Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to add something so it will be \
present  in the archive.

To get around the problem with updates over-writing my quanta toolbar (the 
system wide toolbar) I just include a check in my .bashrc file that checks \
to  make sure the toolbar is mine and not the default. If a newer version \
has  overwritten my toolbar, then the check routine copies mine back. For \
most  distros, this will require sudo or root access.

If you are interested, simply include the following function in your \
~/.bashrc  file and then every time you login, it will check to make sure \
your toolbar is  still yours (of course the lines beginning with '#' are \
just comments):

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#
 ## functions                                                               \
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------#


chkquantatb() {
qpath=/opt/kde3/share/apps/quanta/toolbars/html
stdtb=standard.toolbar.tgz                     
dcrtb=standard.toolbar.tgz.dcr                 

if ! diff ${qpath}/${dcrtb} ${qpath}/${stdtb} > /dev/null 2>&1; then
    sudo cp ${qpath}/${dcrtb} ${qpath}/${stdtb}                     
fi                                                                  
}                                                                   

<snipped stuff>


#--------------------------------------------------------------------------# \
 # config checks                                                            \
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------# \
                
                                                                            \
  chkquantatb                                                               \
                
                                                                            \



Just make sure you use the correct qpath path above and save a copy of your \
 toolbar either in the directory where it normally resides under a \
different  name (mine is 'standard.toolbar.tgz.dcr' above) or you will need \
to adjust the  location in the copy call here:

    sudo cp ${qpath}/${dcrtb} ${qpath}/${stdtb}
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This just keeps the installer from outsmarting me :p
