1) dragging the anchor moves the whole guide (and the anchor with it)
2) pressing Shift and dragging the anchor moves it along the guide
(while the guide itself stays in place)
3) dragging the guide anywhere outside the anchor rotates it around the anchor
4) pressing Shift and dragging the guide outside the anchor bypasses
rotation and moves the whole guide (as in 1.)
    

No, I think simply dragging the guide anywhere must move it, not
rotate.

Otherwise too many people will be upset by the change. Let's
limit rotation to Shift+drag. In that case you can display the anchor
only while Shift is pressed, thus reducing visual clutter and
preventing "what's this" questions.

Wouldn't it be good if we could select a guide, just as we can select objects? It should then become selected when you click it, and remain selected (and red) until you click it again or until you select any other object. This way we can select multiple guides at the same time, to move them in parallel or to delete them all at once, etc. In that case you could choose to only draw the anchor when it's selected. When moving the anchor it should move in two degrees of freedom, with snapping (I will take care of the snapping once you're done), and with CTRL pressed it should move only along the guide. SHIFT should disable the snapping IMO.

We should also have a list of guides in the document properties dialog, one day. That tab just feels too empty ;-)
