insert_stock() part of the old API.  see below.

erm, actually, ToggleToolButton inherits from ToolButton, which already 
has the stock-id property, and adds toggle-ness.

however, gtk_toolbar_insert_stock() is part of the "old" toolbar API, 
which is deprecated as of 2.4 and does not work with the "new" 2.4 
action-based toolbar API, of which ToggleToolButton is a part.  that 
is, if you've used any of the old api functions on your toolbar, you 
can't use any of the new functions on it, and vice versa.

i'd suggest converting to the new API if you can, because the 
action-based stuff is quite superior as a full-app solution goes.

i'm reasonably sure that it's possible to do what you want with the old 
API, but i don't know how.
