Quite right --- I looked into this just now.
LaTeX-maybe-install-toolbar is called in two places:

1.  It's called at startup of latex-mode on xemacs and

2.  It's called by tool-bar-mode-on-hook, where it is installed.

So this suggests that somehow my toolbar-modification code does not call
tool-bar-mode-on-hook.

It's tempting to just try running tool-bar-mode-on-hook in my
add-tool-bar-to-selected-frame....  I'll see if that works out.

Best,
r
