[QGIS-Developer] removing icons

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey Donn,

FIrst, your post is in the right place.  Maybe qgis-user is a better place
but doesn't really matter for this.

Second, you sure can do what you need.  The first thing you need is
Settings -> Customization. Tick enable and you can disable and enable
anything you need.  You can also Save To File to get an ini file which you
can load QGIS with the following argument to start the UI with that
interface: qgis -z yourfile.ini.  Pretty handy if you need different UIs
for different use cases.

Next thing to do after that is look for the "Customize ToolBars" plugin.
That will let you make custom toolbars with what ever actions you need for
your users.

Regards,
Nathan
