3. Implement a non-widget relationship between the GtkToolbar and
the GtkToolItem.

This would mean that on a right click of a GtkToolbar parent would
give you an "Add" submenu that allows you to add a choice of
    - GtkToolItem
    - GtkToolButton
    - GtkMenuToolButton
    - GtkToggleToolButton
    - GtkRadioToolButton
    - GtkSeparatorToolItem
           
In the case of a GtkToolItem we could add a placeholder.

Currently this is how non-widgets work in glade-3, we could probably
do the same thing for menus come to think of it.

Hmmmm, Food for thought.
