  The problem (or at least a _very_ similar looking one here) is that

'toolbar' face has a background of 'white', and xpm-color-symbols says:

         (x-get-resource "backgroundToolBarColor"

Try doing:
(set-face-background 'toolbar "gray80") 
This is my change. If you don't have toolbar face set or
backgroundToolBarColor set then the default fallback is the background
color. This is consistent (#-O) with the modeline behaviour. This change is
needed otherwise you can't set the toolbar color under mswindows.
If I had my way gui-element face would be set.
