I think the toolbar may need redesigning a bit. It was pretty awkward
getting it to work in Glade.

It's not very object-oriented at present. For it to work well with a
GUI builder, we'd probably need a GtkToolbarItem widget (a simple subclass
of bin), with properties such as:

  type - standard/toggle/radio/widget/space.
  icon - the graphic to show.
  label - the text to show.
  tooltip - the tooltip.
  group - radio group if it is a radio item.

If it's type is 'widget' you could add any widget to it like a normal
container.

I'm not sure if a GtkRadioToolbarItem subclass is necessary.
