I'm not sure whether toggling tool-/menu-bar-mode should override
window-system specific settings.  When we set tool-bar-lines in
default-frame-alist we don't override window-system specific settings.
Is toggling tool-/menu-bar-mode conceptually "stronger" than setting
default-frame-alist WRT to future frames?  What's the purpose of setting
`window-system-default-frame-alist' in .emacs when a simple click on a
menu entry will annihilate its effect for the rest of the session?  Such
clicks are not window-system specific.
