Camaelon introduces a category for NSTableView that does not call the (assumedly new) selector -_initDefaults: Hence, the local dragging mask is 0. Fixing this remedies part of the problem. What remains is a quite strange behaviour: If I overlap the mailbox window and the mail window of GNUMail the operation works. As soon as there is a gap between the windows, i.e. the drag operation touches an external application, the operation again fails. It looks like GSDragView does not recognize that it must switch back from non-local to local operation. It did not debug this, though, and probabyl won't have time today to do so. But this might anyway help you to track it down.
