An idea: the menu item could be checked and affect the visibility directly.
I moved the 'Component Palette' and 'IDE Speed Buttons' check-items
lower in View menu.
Now EditorToolbar item comes after them and having it checked would be
intuitive.
Then the config dialog would not need visibility setting and no
warning was needed.

EditorToolbar still has issues not related to this patch:

A user can add the same item many times from available items to
selected items. This is a bug and should be fixed.
The arror should be disabled if the item already is there. The tree
item could also be drawn disabled but this is not crucial.

There is no splitter between the available and selected panes. It is a
common convention to have one with such a GUI.

Not related to EditorToolbar, but the Jump Back/Forward icons don't
look good. They have binoculars which hints for some kind of search
window but there is none. A logical icon would be an arrow but it
should be different from other arrow icons around the IDE.
