You know this is 2020, so truth == lies, and lies == truth, right?
So, once I actually follow the documentation and pass 'false' in the right
place, the toolbar looks correct :-)

Now the question is: do we want to expose this to lisp, and if so,
how? I mean, I have no idea if the macOS or MS-Windows tool bar have
a similar feature.
