Lots of smaller toolbars improve layout and usability issues if the
smaller toolbars are easily joinable/mergable (i.e. the ability to
merge smaller 3-item toolbars into one larger toolbar). GTK+ toolbars
can't do that out of the box. Gnome could, but the results could be...
uhm... disastrous from an aesthetic viewpoint (download a gnome build
of 0.7.10 or 0.7.11 and you'll see what I mean).
