OK, so we're homing in on the usage of this (probably to result in a
documentation bug). A few more questions from above:

...because it *looks* like a window, clicking on the title should open
the window's menu. Does this happen automatically, or does it need to
be handrolled, or is there no menu support when one's using it?

Sounds like there's a documentation bug either way, as
HildonEditToolbar doesn't say it should be used only after
gtk_window_fullscreen():

    http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hildon/HildonEditToolbar.html

(Although, to be fair, the example does show it :-))

Cheers,

Andrew
