Sure. If you write some xml file for a toolbar, you can define a verb,
alright. So you get the normal click action. But if you want to bind it
to a popup menu you need to or get the widget from the xml file, add a
popup menu signal (i couldnt get this one to work), or make the widget
in the code, which requires a lots of extra boilerplate stuff and you
get problems with the toolbar style.

I added priority="1" to all the toolbar items that require priority, is
that OK too? seems to work :)
