kontact navigator toolbar won't stay when moved

[Re Persina]

Binary package hint: kontact

Using Kontact 1.2.4 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405) on KDE 3.5.8 / Gutsy , the Navigator toolbar resists being positioned in anything but the default placement.

By default, the Navigator toolbar is comprised of the special items:
"SpacerAction"
"ActionList: navigator_actionlist"

This populates the Navigator toolbar with six icons, one for each of the Kontact components. When enabled as a horizontal toolbar (along the top), the Navigator toolbar's icons are by default positioned at the right most edge of the screen. The Navigator toolbar's handle appears much further to the left, just after the last icon of the previous toolbar.

I would like to place the Navigator toolbar in the left most position at the top, with the other toolbars following just after it on the same line. Kontact will allow me to drag and drop the toolbar into the position described, but upon changing to a different Kontact component, or exiting and restarting Kontact, the Navigator toolbar's position changes. It usually appears on it's own new line, below the component-dependent toolbar(s).

I attempted to alter the placement of the Navigator toolbar by deleting the "SpacerAction" from it, the effect of that is that all the icons dissapear from the Navigator toolbar, leaving only its handle. I also attempted to manipulate the the Navigator toolbar's position by manually editing the ~/.kde/share/config/kontactrc file. under the [MainWindow Toolbar navigatorToolBar] heading, but this too was unhelpful. Specifically I tried removing the "NewLine=true" line and altering the Offset value, but these changes did not have a positive effect.

Finally I tried removing both the "SpacerAction" and the "ActionList: navigator_actionlist" items from the Navigator toolbar, and manually added the icons for the six Kontact components, all using the "Configure Toolbars" option within Kontact. Even after manually populating the toolbar in this manner, I could not get the Navigator toolbar to stay in the position I placed it. I also tried restoring the Navigator toolbar to its default state, using the "Defaults" button in the "Configure Toolbars" option, but this simply restores the Navigator toolbar to its original right-aligned state.

Comparing with a different machine, still running Kontact 1.2.4 on KDE 3.5.6 / Edgy, I am able to place the Navigator toolbar where I desire on that installation, and the toolbar stays put. The only obvious difference is that the Navigator toolbar on that machine has on it only "ActionList: navigator_actionlist", not the "SpacerAction" item.

This seems to have been fixed in Gutsy, as it is no longer a problem for me now.
