I have installed emacs23 on Linux Mint 8. I would like to hide the toolbar, and I can do it with Options > Show/Hide > Tool-bar. But the Tool-bar comes back next time I start emacs. How can I hide it persistently?

Add the following to your init file (~/.emacs or _emacs or ~/.emacs.d/init.el):

I agree with michael. But if you only add this line to your .emacs file, there will be errors when you run emacs in the command line mode. Thus, a better solution may be adding the following to you .emacs file:

(if window-system

    (tool-bar-mode -1)

)

so that, tool bar will be hidden only when you run it in GUI. Emacs in command line mode does not seem to have a tool bar.

Emacs has a nice built-in customization interface.

Select Options › Customize Emacs › Specific Option, start typing tool, then hit TAB to see the options starting with tool. Choose tool-bar-mode then. Toggle its value to switch it off, and press Save for future sessions.

  Thanks, this was a more general solution. But when I pressed "Save for future sessions", I got "Cannot save customixations; init file was not fully loaded" ...so I think I have some problem with my .emacs-file, but I don't understand it.

  Sanoj: the best fix for that, if you don't know any lisp, is to make an empty .emacs, and then copy parts of your old .emacs in one at a time and make sure no errors show up in the Messages buffer at startup for each portion you add back in. Or you can put a ";" before lines to comment them out, and follow a similar process of uncommenting a small section, and making sure there are no errors when you restart.
