Narrow separator tool bar icon in Emacs 22?

Narrow separator tool bar icon in Emacs 22?

Hi,

in Emacs 21, the following code adds a *narrow* separator icon [1] and
an exit icon to the toolbar:

  (tool-bar-add-item "/tmp/separator" "sep" 'ignore :help "separator") 
  (tool-bar-add-item "exit" "exit" 'bury-buffer)

In Emacs 22 (Gtk build), the separator icon is as broad as the other
icons.  Is it possible to have a narrow separator in Emacs 22?  How?

Bye, Reiner.

[1] The separator icon is attached.  It's sep.xpm from AUCTeX.

The way to make items of unequal width changed from GTK 2.2 to GTK 2.4 
in an incompatible way.  So I can make your example work, but then we 
would have to require GTK 2.4 or newer.  Maybe that isn't such a big 
reuirement now that 2.8 is out.

Required GTK version (was: Narrow separator tool bar icon in Emacs 22?)

Thanks for your explanation.

I don't have a strong opinion on this.  

FWIW, SuSE 9.2 (which is more than one year old) has GTK+ Version
2.4.9, SuSE 10.0 has GTK 2.8.  Which version of GTK is included in
Debian (stable)?

Bye, Reiner.

What concern for Emacs 22 is the version of GTK+ in Debian stable?

I don't know, but perhaps Debian stable is a good distribution to look 
at, since it contains stable (i.e. old :-) stuff?  Anyway, debian.org 
lists Gtk+ 2.6.4 for stable, so I have bumped up the required version to 
2.4.  The narrow separator example works now.

I've been told that Debian stable has GTK 2.4.

If Debian stable has GTK 2.4 it's probably hard to find a current
GNU/Linux distribution with an older GTK version.

Bye, Reiner.
