I have just had ESS installed on a linux box running Fedora 10. It is all
working except for one annoying aspect.
I prefer to keep my line size to be 80 characters but with that width, the
toolbar is too long for a single line. On my windows machine, where I use
Vince Goulet's packaged Emacs with ESS and AUCTeX the toolbar wraps around
to put some icons on a second line. On the linux box the extra icons are
accommodated on a drop-down menu which makes access to them much harder
(two steps instead of one).
I would like to have the toolbar expand to two lines when required. I have
read the section on toolbars in the GNU Manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/elisp/html_node/Tool-Bar.html
which doesn't seem to work at all. The variables mentioned, tool-bar-lines
and auto-resize-tool-bars don't appear as options when I look for them
under Customize. I tried
(setq tool-bar-lines 2)
(setq auto-resize-tool-bars t)
in my .emacs with no apparent effect.
Emacs is GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.7)
and I have tried both ESS version 5.3.10 and 5.3.11
