Subject: 24.0.50; no longer able to disable toolbar by default
Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 10:58:06 +0200

After recent upgrades, I'm no longer able to inhibit having a toolbar by
default when Emacs is started.

I used to have the following in my ~/.emacs:

  (tool-bar-mode nil)

but it doesn't seem to have any effect anymore.

Also, disabling the toolbar in the menu and then choosing "save options"
does not add any line about the tool bar in my custom-set-variables
block (whereas, for instance, doing the same for the scroll bar does).

Many thanks for Emacs!

`tool-bar-mode' doc says:

  Toggle use of the tool bar.
  With numeric arg, display the tool bar if and only if arg is positive.

so please try (tool-bar-mode -1)

retitle 6211 save options does not save the tool-bar-mode preference
thanks

That works, thanks!
(I was baffled by the change of semantics, as nil worked in the past.)

Still, that does not explain why disabling the tool bar from the menu
and then choose "save options" does not save the tool-bar-mode
setting. Note that it works for other similar options, as the scroll bar
setting. That's why I'm retitling the bug.

Thanks again,
Cheers.

Version: 23.3

I don't really understand this, but it seems to be fixed by this change:

2010-09-10  Glenn Morris  <rgm at gnu.org>

  * menu-bar.el (menu-bar-options-save): Fix handling of menu-bar
  and tool-bar modes.  (Bug#6211)
  (menu-bar-mode): Move setting of standard-value after the
  minor-mode definition, otherwise it seems to have no effect.
