Thanks. You won't believe it but yesterday this would have saved me
half an hour poking around with this. Until then I didn't know that
'recenter' is now our moral equivalent of 'redisplay'.
You might also reconsider the Elisp manual entry where it says
If this variable is non-‘nil’, the tool bar automatically resizes
to show all defined tool bar items—but not larger than a quarter of
the frame’s height.
I've been digging through Gerd's and Kim's rewrites of
'redisplay_tool_bar' and nowhere found a reference to that "quarter".
Did that ever work and when?

I stumbled across this feature because wrapping and unwrapping the tool
bar on Motif by changing the frame width shrinks the frame height for
inexplicable reasons until it is down to a few lines. Lucid and
non-toolkit builds do not have this issue. Currently, I just try to
understand the design considerations and whether they are responsible
for the behavior I see.
