an improvement would be to only pop it up if the in the direction the menu 
will pop up ...

but, the annoyance with it seems to be because it's an extremeley small drag 
distance that triggers it (e.g. any movement whatsoever). that's because it 
does this to check the distance:

      (mev->pos() - d->m_mousePressPos).manhattanLength()
              > KGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay()

the KGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay() docu says that this is the distance in 
pixels for which to trigger a drag. it seems that  the Peripherals/Mouse 
control panel configures this. however, Peripherals/Mouse saves it to 
StartDragDist in the KDE group of the kdeglobals file, while 
KGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay() is:

int KGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay()
{
    KConfig *c = KGlobal::config();
    KConfigGroupSaver cgs( c, "General" );
    return c->readNumEntry("DndDelay", 2);
}

which is it? DndDelay or StartDragDist? i don't have a DndDelay anywhere in my 
kde config files, and a grep for DndDelay in the kcontrol panels source 
didn't come up with anything either...

it seems to me that KGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay() should be looking for 
StartDragDist, but then i'm not very familiar with the history of that code.
