now i figured out what was wrong with my setup, and drag and drop
works again for me with X's event interface, as described on
http://people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/ (which is included in both
the debian experimental X and also in the one on
www.schuldei.org).

one must not have Emulate3Buttons option active, that absorbs the
button=ADdepress-event and releases it only together with the
button-release-event.=20

this patch (on the above url) also features a fifo which the
input.agent uses to alert the Xserver of hotplug events. this
means that devices are regrabbed on the fly, without the need of
switching to the console and back.

there is an issue with the keyboard in that input-agent, though,
i guess that is due to the format change in the later 2.6
kernels... you could try if it works properly on your 2.4.
