Btw, could we add this as an example to
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/elisp/html_node/Tool-Bar.html ?
I googled 24/7 (no kidding) and found no examples at all, not even in
www.dotemacs.org. I would be happy to write a small paragraph about it
even though I'm clearly a non-expert.

Best,
Bernhard
