While I agree that the Quick Launch Toolbar is not as good as the prior
Office Shortcut Toolbar, I do not understand your comment:

  "far better to have a toolbar that can be configured and moved about
independently of the Task Bar"

I can move the Quick Launch Toolbar any place I want. Currently the QLTB is
at the top of my display and the Taskbar at the bottom.

I have seen posts in Office newsgroups that the Office Shortcut Toolbar from
prior versions of Office can be used in Office 2003. However, have not tried
to do so myself.
