i have a half-finished patch here that shows a drop area indicator in the same 
fashion as moving applets on the panel does... i should probably finish that up 
for 4.2

is the call to !item->acceptDrops() really needed? afaik, dragMove events 
shouldn't appear unless the item above rejects/ignores it?

the drop isn't passed onto the app, it causes that window to activate. it's 
useful as it is.

what it should probably do is ignore drops that have the applet mimetype.
