When it's maximized, toggling the tool-bar will make the minibuffer
have different heights. It's like the mode line has been pulled up and
down. This is tested in gnome 2.14. In motif window manager, even when
emacs is maximized, toggling tool-bar will move the bottom frame edge.

However with lucid emacs, the frame size remain unchanged and so does
the minibuffer, in both cases. I happen to have two versions of emacs
in my machine:

  - GNU Emacs 22.0.51.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
    bars, multi-tty) of 2006-08-14
  - GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.1) of
    2006-08-11

I'm also using the same version of gnome but with fedora core
5. Fedora's policy is pushing all its patches to upstream so they can
maintain the minimal set of patches i.e it's unlikely my gnome behaves
differently.
