Toolbars expect to do the management of the size and placement of the 
controls themselves, and so don't do anything to do normal autolayout 
(like calling GetSizer().Layout().)  This is necessary because the 
normal toolbar buttons are usually not separate controls, but just part 
of the toolbar itself, so making that work with a sizer would be tricky, 
or maybe not even possible depending on how the native toolbar works.
