\_ I just tried M-x tool-bar-mode and that seems to work.  If you don't like 
\_ the scroll bar, then you could use M-x scroll-bar-mode to recover some more 
\_ space.

YMMV, but stuff the following in your .emacs if you want permanent
relief:

(menu-bar-mode -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1) ; 95% sure

I'm not running emacs 21 locally so I don't have that config ready to
dispense summary justice to tool-bar-mode, but it's something like that.

\_ Any suggestions on how to change the type of scroll-bar used so that it 
\_ doesn't use the GTK tool set (i.e. make it look like the old one)?

read the info pages on gtk/scrollbars and see.
