All that's necessary for the web docs is knowledge of converting POD  
to HTML.

Ah, no, the new stuff is actually more powerful and flexible.  You  
can create a similar convenience method for yourself that would look  
like this:

sub MyToolbar::insert_from_stock {
    my ($toolbar, $stock_id, $tooltip, $index) = @_;
    my $item = Gtk2::ToolButton->new_from_stock ($stock_id);
    $item->set_tooltip ($tooltip);
    $toolbar->insert ($item, $index);
    return $item;
}

Yadda yadda yadda.  The new-style toolbar is more fun and useful when  
you use it with Actions and UIManager, because you don't have to do  
stuff like this.
