Is there any plans to change that? I mean I can understand this
rationale for global/user settings for toolbars that are document
specific ( e.g. stored in the document ) But... having the visibility
state of document specific toolbars stored locally on the file system
( to my mind ) makes no sense. 
Bear in mind it's not just the visibility state that is stored but also
the positioning, so, with the current system if you have a document that
you want to store some custom functionality exposed via a toolbar ( you
cannot specify the desired position or initial visibility state of that
toolbar ) Furthermore if someone opens that document they could hide the
toolbar ( or move it into a position where not all toolbar items are
easily visible etc. ) The next time that user opens the document those
( in this case erroneous ) changes would be applied, surely those
changes should/could be stored with the document? at least then if the
document was not modified the positional and visibility attributes would
be in a consistent state?
