In the last patch that I posted here, I've changed that now to use the  
`item-name' element in an menu-item structure of the form
(menu-item item-name real-binding . item-property-list)
which is usually a string.  tool-bar.el now as a backwards-compatible  
interface to set the labels.  One can use a :caption property if using  
the menu item string is inappropriate for some reason.
This works nicely now in the Carbon (the new native tool bar code by  
Yamamoto Mitsuharu is really nice and allows for high-quality tool bar  
interactions, especially when PNGs are used for icons).  Someone who  
understands GTK could probably try out switching labels on there, too.
