We have a number of stories on how integration between tools and menus 
can work;
- old way - make an action set that matches the tool category name and 
don't enable that action set for your perspective
- new way - a "visible" check on the menu contribution; you can use any 
expression here including checking to see if the action set is enabled

Long and short of it; the tool manager should be checking the actionset; 
and only contributing categories of tools that are enabled; for making a 
spatial data viewer you would make a perspective that does not enable 
any of the "edit" categories; I would like to:
a) figure this out
b) add those steps to the udig branding tutorial (as an example of what 
a perspective can do)
