Hmm.. well, that wouldn't be hard to do programatically but tricky
conceptually.  How do we know when a user is just clicking the button
or clicking on the button to drag it to the trash (or move it)?  Don't
say a time delay because we already have buttons (delayed menus) that
depend on a time delay.  Maybe a CTRL-click?  Er.. that would be a
hidden feature for sure.. almost nobody would remember that.
