That's interesting - Simon had other plans for using tear-off
handles in the XMLGUI ;-)
I like your way, though. But for it to work with the XMLGUI stuff,
it has to "hide" the fact that there is a toolbar handle, 
in terms of position ("index").
(The XML-GUI stuff uses positions quite intensively, so it
would get confused if an unknown item has position 0...)
