I'm doing the same thing (Drag.Move on a large image inside a viewing "window").
IE obviously doesn't handle it very well, but Safari and Firefox do great. I hadn't though of using scroller. To get the adobe reader/google maps grab functionality I guess you could have it scroll the opposite direction of the mouse's movement. Hmm ... I like it. I really don't like using drag and drop since IE handles all of it so poorly.
