That's a gtk+ theme issue, really. Try adding these to your gtkrc file
(the one that would be ~/.gtkrc-2.0 on the Unix side):
#
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gtk-icon-sizes =
"gtk-menu=12,12:gtk-small-toolbar=8,8:gtk-large-toolbar=24,24:gtk-dnd=32,32"
gtk-toolbar-icon-size = small-toolbar
gtk-button-images = 0
style "default"
{
GtkUIManager::add_tearoffs = 0
GtkComboBox::add_tearoffs = 0
GOComboBox::add_tearoffs = 0
}
class "*" style "default"
#
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dom would know more -- the above are from his bug reports.

I think the situation is that we really, really do not want to. And
that therefore
no-one is spending any effort on even trying and that bug reports are
getting WONTFIXed.

I hope the above helps here too. Otherwise, please file a bug report with
a screen shot.

The extenders should not be needed after the above on regularly sized
windows.

Bugzilla with screen shot, please.

Certainly gtk+. No idea otherwise.

That would be a gnumeric issue. (The unix side does not have it either.)

Hmm. Better bugzilla that.
