Yes. But a) GNOME have comparatively large icons and b) I don't know if 
individual toolbars can be detached (in Mozilla they can't). If this is 
possible, they can be treated like on Windows, i.e. toolboxes (= 
buttons with icons that do not correspond to menu items) can be in the 
toolbar area or in a separate window.

The distinction between toolbars (buttons with icons that correspond to 
menu items, e.g. Open, Save, Cut, Paste) and toolboxes (buttons with 
icons that do not correspond to menu items and that are often modal, 
e.g. Eraser, Pencil, Paintbrush) might be too artificial. I just 
thought due to the size of icons on Gnome and Apple all these icons 
cannot be at the top of the application's window.

Cheers,
Axel.
