I don't think this is the preferred way - the toolbar style is a user
setting which should be respected if possible.
Until recently, the default style was to show labels below icons. This
was changed with the release of Gnome 2.28 to show labels beside icons
_only_ for actions with the is_important property set to TRUE.
So IMHO the "correct" way of doing it would be to pick the most
important actions and mark them with gtk_action_set_is_important.
