To tell the truth, I hate the D&D-by-dragging-selected-text behavior of other
apps (in particular, mozilla), because it's damn touchy -- often I'll try to
click to make the selected region collapse, but accidentally drag a _little
bit_, which ends up invoking the D&D behavior...
The same thing happens with other interfaces where dragging vs. clicking
makes a significant difference (e.g., trying to edit the filename of a
selected icon in windows -- _infuriating_!), it just seems like poor design.
