I just wipped together a small patch that might help out with toolbar 
editing:
   http://www.daa.com.au/~james/files/eggtoolbar-drag.patch

This does not implement toolbar editing, but should be useful for people 
implementing a toolbar editing mode.  It gets EggToolbar to draw its own 
DnD drag highlight, using an insertion point between items on the 
toolbar.  It also adds an egg_toolbar_get_drop_index() to get the index 
where the insertion should take place.

I haven't checked it in yet, because it still needs a bit more work, and 
I am not sure how it would interact with the toolbar editing code that 
has been implemented already.

James.
