It's a five-minuts-fix to read it from QSettings (still without any GUI for configuring it, but it's a step forward).

> 2. Select whether given submenu creates its own toolbar or goes to the main Plugin toolbar.
> 3. Compose own toolbar(s) with a set of individual plugin buttons. It allows to hide the native plugin toolbar and enable personalized ones, like "Monday's tasks", "Tools useful for X-files processing etc" 
> 4. Save/load profiles (at least sets of plugins to be loaded - now I often have to use --noplugins option to make qgis faster)
> What do you think? The first two steps can be done in a moment.

+1 for each of these ideas also
