It's the same ambiguity about the term "toolbar" that makes IB's 
toolbar-creation so unintuitive. You create toolbar items in the set 
of *available* items (which is what populates the toolbar 
customization sheet) and these are essentially permanent. You add and 
remove items to/from the subset of items used in the actual toolbar 
(in IB or in your initialization or when the toolbar is customized by 
the user), but that doesn't create or delete the items themselves.
