After thinking about that, I think it wouldn't work.

As I said, various properties of the tool-bar, such as the icons to use,
depend on X resources and GTK resources which are not available until
the first graphical frame is loaded.

And Emacs can't always access X resources and GTK resources ahead of
time: for instance, imagine ssh'ing to a server without an X forwarding
agent, and running an emacs server; then ssh in with a forwarding agent,
and run `emacsclient -c'.
