i think the overall structure of it is fine as it is.  the items
you've mentioned above are what's currently called GtkToolbarChild
(minus the radio group for radio buttons).

what's missing in the API is obvious: manipulating individual toolbar
child items.  currently, you can add items, but that's it.  there no
provisions for changing, deleting, etc.
