APA> Hi Joachim, use [Set] to activate a change in the active XEmacs APA> session, [Save] to make the customization persist across sessions. No, [Set] does definitively _not_ update that specific change in the active XEmacs session. That's what I wrote above, I tried [Set]ting the toolbar face background before I asked on xemacs-beta. (That this obvious solution did not work actually triggered my email.)

Only when I wanted to create an minimal error case for Stephen I discovered that [Save] and restarting XEmacs works. As Stephen confirmed, this is not easy to change, as one seems to need full re-initialization and cache-invalidation of toolbar buttons for [Set] to work. Maybe one should mention that in the doc string of face toolbar, as long as it doesn't work?
