Shrinking of what? The frame? The font?

In Emacs 22.1, I don't see shrinking of anything. The number of lines
displayed is reduced or increased - that's the only change I see.

Just to be sure I understand. Are you saying that turning the tool-bar on or
off should have the (side-)effect of changing the font size?

If so, my answer would be no, it should not. Better to change the frame size
(if necessary) than the font size, IMO. But I don't see either one change in
Emacs 22.1 (and that's good).
