> ask the user You just failed to create a toolbar button, how are you going to ask a user do something if you already failed to create a tiny UI element?

  I guess you pre-allocate these UI elements when you start your application.

    What if malloc fails at that point because some other application (we're in a preemptive multitasking OS) decided to gobble up all RAM?

      If your application fails at start-up, you don't need to worry about saving state and graceful failure.
