Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Manually adding actions to toolbars in KDE applications using the toolbar editor dialog is cumbersome... Why not allow directly dragging them from the application's menus?

Plasma allows you to drag application-links from the Kickoff menu onto the desktop, so this concept is not something totally unheard of... Please consider making this availeable for application menu & toolbar actions!

You should file this as wish under http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa as thats where support for dragging around QMenu items needs to be started.

Use the context menu on the menu item, and select "Add to Toolbar". Needs current trunk to work. Drag and drop will not work, as people often use dragging instead of clicking to navigate through the menus (i.e. keep button pressed all the time).

But won't you then usually start the "drag" operation on one of the main menus (while it's still closed), rather than on a specific action inside one of the menus? This would still work, even if drag & drop were implemented for individual actions...

Ok, that's also good.
Does "trunk" mean it won't be in KDE 4.4?
