Thanks Bjorn for that response.  The only thing I'd add is that if
people want to remove a few items from the toolbar, an alternative is
to use 
  M-x customize-variable RET ess-toolbar-items RET
for an interactive way of adding/removing toolbar itmes,

And thanks for picking up on this comment.  I was hoping to use a
compatibility library for the ESS toolbar, but as yet it has not
materialised, so if the current code works well enough, it may move
from experimental to stable!
