Closing this since we're unable to reach a consensus. None of the proposed
changes are how I envision the patch to work.

We discussed the matter in the VDG Telegram room this morning and came up
with some alternative ideas:
- Ignore drag operations that fall below a certain threshold, to only allow
clear and purposeful drags and filter out accidental drags caused by imprecise

I think the question we need to ask ourselves is whether the ability to
create .desktop shortcuts by dragging from the task manager is useful to
enough people to outweigh the confusion and frustration to other people caused
by unwanted drags.

FWIW, I do approve of the goal here. I can't imagine that any more than a
very very tiny fraction of all drags to the desktop or into a web browser or
text editor window are intentional.

I don't see why it can't. Task manager items can be aware of the panel state
if that's needed.

**Short press**

That said accidental drags from the task manager are really a common issue.
Could we do some sort of double-tap-and-drag instead of just drag to minimize
the risk for an accidental drag?

I still don't like it, sorry - the patch also feels technically and
semantically wrong to me. "If widgets are locked, stop adding a certain kind of
data to the drag" is a pretty bad hack.

Hi @hein, thanks for your input and I understand that this might break some
functionality that I'm unaware of (such as the drop of task manager icons into
the pager widget).

As-is I would not accept this patch, I'm sorry. Task Manager items are not
widgets, it's content, and the widget mutability state should not affect
content drags.
This particular drag is used for workspace features some people do rely on,
