The toolbar code in kvim is the one from vim. So we use vim's menu/toolbar
structure.

Our embedding is, as you say, equivalent to embed a X-Window. So we embed a
vim window into a kpart component. In the vim window, we have disabled the
menu/and toolbar. It is possible for us to put our own toolbars and menu in
the component if we want to.

If we have a maintainer for the gtk vim, for the KDE vim us and for the
windows vim, then it might be easier to propose slight changes in the vim UI
code. What other ui client does vim have ? Athena, X11 and console ? Is
Athena and X11 used a lot ?
