Creeping gaps in GtkToolbar

[Neil Bird <neil fnxweb com>]

  This was noticed in ther GTK+ (1.2.10) build of vim, but 
looking at the code, it seems more likely to be a bug in GTK.

  What happens is that when an item in a toolbar is removed*, a 
small gap is left behind - continued adding/removal of an item 
at a specific point causes an ever expanding blank space [to the 
left of the insertion point, FWIW] in that location.

  I'd guess that a spacing/gap size added with the child widget 
isn't 'removed' alongside the child's own width when it's deleted.

  Is this some flaw on GtkToolbar?  I can't see any real 
problem with *that*, so it seems that the problem would be in 
the parent GtkContainer - but surely someone would've noticed an 
item-removal bug in that?


* - GtkToolbar doesn't export a remove call, but the vim code 
pretty well matches a recommended (1999) solution on this list; 
it's a fairly straightforward widget-unparent followed by a 
queued resize signal (plus the usual list gubbins).
