All the previously stated features that other applications have, and any 
others that make sense; including, but not limited to:

* The ability to move the toolbar buttons around by clicking and 
dragging (perhaps when in a special mode, perhaps always).
* The ability to right click on a toolbar button and bring up a context 
menu.
* The ability to middle click on a toolbar button to perform a modified 
action (say, find-file-other-window instead of find-file).
* The ability to click-and-hold on a toolbar button to bring up an 
extended menu.
