I don't see an easy way to implement the "wait for C-l" -- and for the case at hand, it doesn't even solve the problem, as the abnormal behaviour happens when the toolbar size is increased. You are right; this bug would still have to be fixed at the low level. Nonetheless, the change I suggest in the auto-resize behavior would avoid a behavior that might be quite annoying. It only takes two characters to switch windows, and I often do that a few times in a row. If the toolbar were to change size each time, it would be very distracting. If it were to remain enlarged until I type C-l to let it shrink back down, that distraction would be gone.
