Is this a new feature?  I am running 1.0.8, and right-clicking on an
event only gets me open, delete, cut, copy and paste.

"Moveable" isn't an obvious concept, as least to this old brain.  A more
intuitive alternative I've run into is to be able to edit an entry, and
if it recurs then after hitting OK I get a dialog that asks if I want to
edit just this entry, all recurrences forward in time, or all entries
(though I don't know why I'd want to edit the past in a calendar).  The
program can translate a "edit just this entry" click into a make movable
action without having to present that concept to an ordinary calendar
user.
