I very slightly prefer Plan A. The main downside is having a non-webkit prefix in the code with no migration path off of it. But it's a property that is not applicable to anything but Dashboard as designed[*]. So maybe lack of migration path is OK. I wasn't sure if anyone else would object to semi-permanently having code for a -apple- property, which is why I listed the alternative, which does have a migration path. Regards, Maciej * - The problem it's trying to solve - determining what parts of the widget react to mouse events normally and which parts can be used to drag the whole widget around -- was solved for touch scrolling on iPhone without having to introduce any new CSS properties. So I wouldn't recommend anyone ever doing anything similar, even if they had a similar problem to solve.
