One thing that might be relevant to this (excuse me if this is off 
base; I haven't really been following this thread well) is that Rev's 
drag and drop starts on click, rather than when the drag begins. In 
other applications, you need to click and drag a certain number of 
pixels before the drag behavior kicks in, but the engine has no 
concept of a "slop rect" for dragging.
