The new behaviour for the tool bar is that if it doesn't fit in the window, an 
arrow is shown instead with a popup containing the items that didn't fit. 
This is a nice feature.  But when detaching, that arrow is shown (a strange 
behaviour IMHO).

I've made a variable you can customize (x-gtk-whole-detached-tool-bar) to t if 
you want the old behaviour back.
