bug#6211: 24.0.50; no longer able to disable toolbar by default

[Stefano Zacchiroli]

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!
