According to the Aqua Human Interface Design Guidelines, controls that cause
non-destructive actions should be available for click-through. Buttons that
can destroy data should disable when the window is deactivated and thus
require one click to bring the window to the front and one to trigger the
action. In general, the Cocoa behaviour is the correct one, but there are
some exceptions.

Mail.app shows this nicely. The red delete toolbar items (which looks like a "Do Not Enter" sign to me instead of "Delete") dims when you leave the window, but all the other buttons stay alive.
