23.0.91; elisp.info: auto-resize-tool-bars |

In the elisp.info, there is reference to the variable:
-- Variable: auto-resize-tool-bar
If this variable is non-`nil', the tool bar automatically resizes
to show all defined tool bar items--but not larger than a quarter
of the frame's height.
If the value is `grow-only', the tool bar expands automatically,
but does not contract automatically. To contract the tool bar, the
user has to redraw the frame by entering `C-l'.
I think that should be 'auto-resize-tool-bars'. Also, from my limited
experimentation, it seems that variable does not apply on unix with gtk
or mac (under nextstep); if a frame is narrowed, the toolbar gains a
right-arrow icon which shows the remaining icons, rather than moving the
icons onto a second line. Should the doc string mention this
restriction? In the elisp.info file, when describing Layout Parameters,
it does say:
`tool-bar-lines'
The number of lines to use for the tool bar. A value of `nil'
means don't display a tool bar. (GTK allows at most one tool bar
line; it treats larger values as 1.)
which confirms to me that GTK will not show multi-line tool bars. But I
also saw the same behaviour on the mac under nextstep.
