It works like this: the tool bar items are fetched from the active
keymaps, starting with global-map, then the current major mode's map.
The global map's tool bar items are generated from the value of tool-
bar-items. Consequently it's not possible to add items to the
beginning of the tool bar by specifying tool bar items in the major
mode map, you need to change the value of tool-bar-items (as stated in
the info documents), which is what info mode and gud do.
