Re: typecast from Gtk::Widget to Gtk::Toolbar?

There's probably not much difference here practically speaking. 
Theoretically dynamic_cast might be safer since it does some run-time
type-checking to make sure that the cast is legal.  dynamic_cast is
"the C++ way", but the other way is still valid.
