for normal buttons, that's easy, no? Just clicking it means activating,
press + drag means dragging. The only problem is those delayed menus,
that's correct, because some people might keep the button pressed while
moving on to the desired item in the menu. Maybe assume activation, when
the menu is already shown, and assume dragging, when it's not shown yet?

The other possibility would be a little popupmenu with "remove" and maybe
"move" (so you can move a button to another toolbar).
