Wrong.  Try this:

$ emacs -Q --eval "(progn (add-hook 'tool-bar-mode-on-hook (lambda () (message 
\"XXXXXXXXXXXXX\"))) (tool-bar-mode) (tool-bar-mode))"

But `tool-bar-mode' should be t if the tool bar is enabled.

Then the LaTeX tool bar will not show up if you start Emacs without a
tool bar, load a LaTeX file and activate Tool Bar mode.

I'm not very fond of it either due to its complexity.  But it is
currently the only way we have to configure the tool bar non-redundantly
for both Emacs and XEmacs.

By the way, speaking of nuisances, the lines in your mails are too long
which makes them hard to read.

Uh, plain-tex.el is not part of AUCTeX 11.86.  I hope you are not
shipping Aquamacs with a CVS version of AUCTeX.
