I have installed some (less radical) changes to visually eliminate the
extra space between the tool-bar and text window for non-toolkit
builds (notably on X).

Actually, the limitations of the redisplay engine still exists, so to
eliminate the extra space the height of the tool-bar line(s) is now adjusted
to fill out the screen area allocated for the tool-bar.

However, I found that a little space (in the default background color)
is actually nice to have, so I've made a new variable tool-bar-border
so you can fine-tune it.
