Can the dimensions of the toolbar be inspected?  If so, we can force the container widget to never shrink if `auto-resize-tool-bars' is `grow-only'.

If the toolbar width changes, we could do the (un)wrapping ourselves: move the buttons to/from another toolbar underneath the upper toolbar.  The lower toolbar would still be inside the same container widget as the upper toolbar, and `grow-only' would pay attention to the sum of the heights of the toolbars.  Would that work?

(Sorry for all of the questions; I'm not familiar with GTK.  But I'm willing to spend some time to cook up some patches if given some hints on how to tackle the problem.)
