Chong, your 2008-10-09 Chong Yidong * tool-bar.el (tool-bar-mode): Only change tool-bar-lines on graphical terminals. change is inherently asymmetric with respect to future frames: Turning `tool-bar-mode' off now adds an entry to `default-frame-alist' as before. Turning it on now no more adds an entry. IMHO, we should either not call `modify-all-frames-parameters' in either case or call them in both cases as in the (attached) tool-bar.el patch I proposed earlier. martin
