Description Christoph Lange 2008-10-16 00:31:01 UTC 
Version:           4.0.0 (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

Neither the toolbar context menu, nor the settings menu, nor the configuration dialog have an option for hiding toolbars
Comment 1 Thorsten Staerk 2008-10-16 08:26:07 UTC 
Why should they have?

> Why should they have?
You mean why I want to hide the toolbars?  Because I have a looooong list of tasks and use the keyboard anyway, so I don't want to waste any screen space for them. (Even though I'm at 1680x1050, so I'm a bit extreme ;-)
Comment 3 Thorsten Staerk 2008-11-15 16:21:16 UTC 
Confirming this bug - it should be possible to remove the toolbars. Best by right-clicking on them and selecting "hide toolbar". But I have no idea how to accomplish this at the moment.

But isn't that a standard feature that is easily available to any KDE application?  No idea about how it is actually implemented, but just have a look at a simple application like kwrite.
Comment 5 Thorsten Staerk 2008-11-22 14:35:10 UTC 
hm, might be defined in kwriteui.rc: 
  <Menu name="settings"><text>&amp;Settings</text>
    <Merge name="StandardToolBarMenuHandler" />
