hmm, another problem...
at the moment the behaviour is that moving the fingler while pressed and menu 
open it selects menu items, so the events are completely managed by the menu, 
to make possible to press, move finger over an item, like the stars, release, 
the item gets activated, so all done in a single gesture (just like the 
desktop menubar behaves)

this is kinda mututally exclusive with enabling drag and drop while the menu 
is open, i think is nice because makes using the menu a bit faster, if is 
decided to drop that feature both here and in the activity screen fine, should 
be the same tough.

i would have to check if technically possible having a dnd event active while 
the menu is open tough, or rather close it and be actually sure is closed 
before the drag event starts, the two things are quite notorious to make the X 
server explode badly when used together
