<apology>
I apologize for the cross posting (between -devel and -user) but I feel
that this topic is relevant to both lists.
</apology>
In doing more research on the subject, I got ahold of Mike Pinkerton who
is one of the developers of the drag and drop functionality of Mozilla.
He pointed out that the embedders, (Galeon etc) could make use of the
following:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/widget/public/nsIClipboardDragDropHo
oks.idl
(For enabling / disabling) of drag and drop. This is probably what most
of the kiosk mode supporters are looking for.
As for setting the threshold, it would appear that a value of 5 pixels
is statically set in Mozilla. In the 1.3 code, under
content/events/src/nsEventStateManager.cpp
Line 1375 reveals the following:
const long pixelDeltaToStartDrag = 5;
It would appear that in order for Galeon to control the drag threshold,
it is up to the Mozilla camp to make this long available for userland
setting instead of being a fixed value.
However, this is only part of the puzzle. Dealing with the pointer, the
button click, and drag off of the link pixelDeltaToStartDrag distance,
won't result in a proper drag. Food for thought for the developers.

Yep, you're quite right. I found the following from bugzilla simply
searching for 'drag disable'. Have fun.
