Hm. But then, when the mouse button is down, the mouse pointer would have to change again, I think. That might be confusing if other programs don't do it that way. A second alternative would be to highlight the marked region in some way when the mouse pointer is over it. (Maybe by putting a border around it?) That might give a suitable hint that dragging at that spot behaves differently. These are both good ideas, but we still need to figure out which mouse click would do this.
