I agree.  Currently, the *default* toolbars in the Gnus buffers
are not the same as the default toolbars of which the visibility
and the position should be customizable by the menu bar.

Gnus doesn't seem to need to display two or more toolbars in one
frame.  The main problem is how to make the *default* toolbars
in the Gnus buffers follow change of the default toolbars.  Or,
how to apply the change done by the menu bar to the *default*
toolbars.  I tried to improve the code again and again, but
haven't succeeded yet.  Though the present code is a result of
the compromise, it's much better than the former one, which just
didn't work.  I welcome any person who improves it further.

(I can also vote instead to making Gnus use only the default
toolbars.)
