I fixed a few things then committed toolbar.py to pyabiword/abicandy

abicandy.py now uses toolbar.py and no longer uses glade.

At some stage we should import the abiword sugar activity into our cvs
and enable rpm generation for sugar straight from cvs.

In the meantime could someone update jhbuild to pull toolbar.py from our
CVS?

Cheers
