Not necessarily, if "drag gesture" and "drag" mean different things for
different applications.
But yes, I imagine that there should be such a user setting at the window mgr
level, possibly with overriding by an app's user settings.

Not the application's job is one thing - I'd agree.
That doesn't mean an application shouldn't or couldn't have its own, overriding
notion of a drag event. If an app can have its own notion of a zimphlot event,
then it can call it "my-drag"...

By default, yes. But it's just like the click itself, which Emacs defines to
some extent. Not that the app _has_ to, but it _can_.
