Of course you would. I do that myself. You do that by changing the frame
parameter for the given frame, not by using the global mode function
`menu-bar-mode' or `tool-bar-mode'. There is nothing new here - this is the way
it has always worked.

No, it has not. Try Emacs 22 (or 21 or 20). `M-x tool-bar-mode' and `M-x
menu-bar-mode' affect all existing and future frames. That doesn't mean you
can't tweak an individual frame, by changing its parameters. But those are
global commands. Always have been.
