Indeed none of the toolbar manipulation options for any toolbar survives opening a new window or closing the current one and then opening a new window. that includes changing icon sizes and location, collapsing("flattening") a toolbar, changing toolbar location/orientation, floating a toolbar and adding or removing a toolbar.

Using current CVS HEAD (3.1.93 and a bit)

Note - configuration is being saved if I use "Settings->save profile" and overwrite the "webbrowsing" profile. 
maybe this is a feature ?

Hi,

FYI: There seems to be a duplicate of this bug at 67743.

We can close the other bug (I am the reporter of that bug -  6743) and combine the votes of them both.

I agree that my bug report #71095 is a dup (never saw this current one)....but the difference that I experienced compared to this one is that even maually saving and overwriting the "webbrowsing" profile still had no effect after logging out or rebbooting. But I am sure it is still basically the same bug nonetheless.

CVS commit by kalass: 

if not hasDefault ; then 
  restoreToDefault

simply does not make sense :-)  

Fixes wrong optimization of default values

I applied this patch against KDE 3.2.1 sources and recompiled kdelibs. I can confirm that the bug is fixed with this patch.

Many many thanks Klas.
