    Idea: reinstate all the old code, and allow you to pass a widget
as a toolbar item.  The local UIH will wrap it in a control and pass
it to the toplevel, which is the only place GtkToolbars will be
created.

    One problem is you can't get UIH signals on such items, but that's
to be expected.  This will require a minimal amount of code, too.  The
other issue is that you can't pass whole GtkToolbars/arbitrary dock
items as widgets.  Or maybe I'll add some code so you can.

    Oh, yes, this is true.

    Oh, yes.  We can do this.
