But it requires a lot of space, doesn't it?

I think that the current syntax for defining toolbars is both unclear
and not convenient. Instead of

Toolbar "Standard" "on,top"
        Layouts
        Item "New document" "buffer-new"
        Item "Open document" "file-open"

what about using

Toolbar "Standard" 
        Status "on"
        Position "top"
        Layouts
        Item "New document" "buffer-new"
        Item "Open document" "file-open"

I think that it is easier to read and, more importantly, we could
(easily) handle redefinition of toolbars with

include "stdtoolbars.ui"

Toolbar "Standard"
        Status "auto"
        Position "bottom"
End

This is much easier for the user that copying all stdtoolbar.ui just
to change some prefs.

Moreover, with this in place, one could have some GUI support in
lyx-qt that would just have to write a local default.ui file (or
something).

As I understand it, Edit is to edit the document.

But Firebird does not...
