Dear Tim, I have added a function (vm-menubar-buttons-possible-p) in
vm-version, which you can use to distinguish between the cases.

I am not sure which toolkits you are talking about here.  Can you be
more specific?

Yes, for anybody that uses the menubar, these two buttons would be
among the most frequently used ones.  That is why they were made
buttons originally.
