I agree the current situation is not ideal in lots of our UIs regarding the
discoverability of the menu. If users are looking for a menu, they'll likely
just skip over anything which looks like a plain button. Having some kind of
visual indication would help them out tremendously.
For menu entries and pushbuttons the difference between a menu/dialog and an
immediate action is also already visible, either via the arrow, or via the
"..." text. The same reasoning applies to toolbutton actions vs toolbutton
menus.

We already have QToolButtons with an arrow on the right side for
MenuButtonPopup mode. Upon hover, the icon will get a frame, to indicate
clicking on the icon and on the arrow will result in different actions.
Here is an idea: For InstantPopup mode, we could reuse the visual language and
also add the arrow on the right side. The difference could be in the hovering,
where now the frame could span both icon and arrow, to indicate clicking on
either will result in the same action.
(Incidentally, this is exactly how some buttons in Windows Explorer already
work, so users would already be somewhat familiar with the visual language!)
@Hugo: As far as I can see, this would solve most of your concerns. Or do you
prefer a wider VDG discussion? Please let us know ;)
