This summarizes a discussion on the mailing list
on the menu arising when D&D a tag into the
icon view area:

Daniel suggested in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139547

On the other hand, Achim wants to get rid of this menu completely:

> Much easier and simplifies the workflow IMHO.

So the suggestions for the menu are
1.) change the ordering
2.) remove completely
