Those could be evaluated when adding them to `toolbarx-image-path'.
But that would mean toolbar-x would not see changes to those variables
after their values got appended to `toolbarx-image-path'.  So we would
really have to make toolbar-x aware of such variables. /c:

That would be trivial.

I fail to see him not liking it.  He just gave hints regarding
possible culprits.

gmm-utils.el is fairly new.  We'd have to copy the code.  Not good.
