Thanks for your response. Setting each toolbar manually does at
least acheive the desired behaviour. I don't believe I've ever set the
toolbar style manually in a single application, although I have
experimented with the global setting the Control Panel. Perhaps each
application is remembering the setting from the first time it was
launched? I've tried this out on my "default settings" user and gotten
similar results. Is there some useful information I can provide?

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment
to fix a travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found
its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a
software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you share
their vision, if you know you can help, and if you can connect to
internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
