As the engine gets the widget that is passed in you can do crazy hacks based on that. I have actually implemented a hack like this for the toolbar once. But to get this right what one needs is a way for applications to hint where it makes sense to draw buttons connected, or where it should not happen. So this is something that I think needs a generic API to set hints (to some extend attaching data to the widget could work today), and a carefully designed specification that both themes and applications can implement independently.
