Sure it looks good, and the computer owner can brag to the guy in the 
next cubicle, etc. But there should be some obvious or useful *purpose* 
for dragging entire pictures where a mouse pointer would be clearer, 
cleaner, easier for the user, and use less computer cycles.

I mean, who's such a nutcase that he forgets halfway in the dragging, 
what it is he's dragging?
