See my mail from today, subject "tool bars - broken again".
I suspect that the change Yidong describes is in fact what broke things.
[The breakage is not what I feared it might be (size of tool-bar lines or
non-respect of `default-frames-alist'). Instead, it seems that turning off
`tool-bar-mode' does not set `tool-bar-lines' to 0 for `default-frame-alist'.]
