Ok, I think we have this point.

I would think, using a seperate dialog box is a bit oversized (at least currently), as a configure toolbar will usually enable the user to select which icons appear in which toolbar and such. This feature requires a seperate dialogbox, of course, as there are lot's of possibilities. But this isn't a feature easy to implement, and I don't want to develop this as a first step, maybe later.
I know the "toolbar style" feature from Mozilla and GTK. As I find it helpful for the user and GTK offers it in an easy way, why shouldn't we use it?
