Hi Jason,

Hello,
My XMLGUI file specifies two toolbars, named "kstarsToolBar" and
"viewToolBar" (see attached kstarsui.rc). The one named "kstarsToolBar"
has a <textproperty of "Main Toolbar", and the one named "viewToolbar"
has a <textproperty of "View Toolbar".
When I run kstars, I am actually getting three toolbars; two are populated
with buttons as described in the XMLGUI file, and the third is empty. When
I hold the mouse cursor above each toolbar's handle, I get tooltip text:
"Main Toolbar (KStars)" and "View Toolbar (KStars)" for the non-empty
toolbars, and "kstarsToolbar" for the empty toolbar. In other words, the
populated toolbars show the <textproperty value (plus "(KStars)"), while
the extra empty toolbar shows the *name* value of one of the first two
toolbars!
Any ideas why I am getting this extra toolbar? I can't be sure, but I
don't think this was happening before I updated kdelibs4_snapshot this
morning, although it's possible I never noticed the empty toolbar before
today. I say this because the empty toolbar's "handle" doesn't appear in
the GUI until I uncheck and then re-check "Settings|Toolbars|Show Main
Toolbar". After doing that then I see the handle widget for the third
toolbar. However, even when I can't see its handle, I know the toolbar is
present, because I added a debug that prints toolBarList().size(): the
value is 3, even at startup.
Note: the apidox for KMainWindow::toolBar(const char*name) says that if no
KToolBar exists with the given name, then one will be created. So my guess
is that somehow when I use 'toolBar("kstarsToolBar")' in the code, it
doesn't think that toolbar exists for some reason, so it creates one with
that name. If this is the case, however, then why do I not also have an
extra toolbar mirroring "viewToolBar"?
I thought that maybe the problem was related to my use of
KToolBar::insertWidget(), which doesn't actually work yet. However,
disabling this part of the code didn't get rid of my phantom toolbar.
For a second I thought I could reproduce this problem with kdelibs head (I'm
using konqueror as my main test program), but it turned out to be a problem
with the kttsd plugin .rc file.
If the problem persists once kstars is ported to the next snapshot, I'll be
happy to take a look for you.
Cheers,
Hamish.
