UIManager: missing control

Hi all,

after updating my GTK+ libraries to 2.6 and PyGTK to 2.5 I started getting 
lots of deprecation warnings (again). The noisy way they're presented helped
me deciding that I might as well do a major rewrite of my program to not
just fix some minor problems but incorporate some bigger wishes as well.

With the ItemFactory falling from grace and UIManager rising, I managed to
get a first boilerplate of the UI rather quickly (couldn't have done it without
the appwindow.py example in the examples directory of PyGTK, though).

Alas, I'm missing a lot of control over the appearance of menus and
toolbar buttons: It seems there's no way to switch of the icons in the
menus and/or the labels in toolbar buttons. These buttons are easily
twice the size of my older app (with the same 24x24 pixmaps!). Once I had
room to spare, now they don't fit on 2 toolbar rows. Maybe if I created
different action groups, but wouldn't that be against the very reason for
their existance?

Of course there's always the chance I overlooked something. 

Hans-J.
