Can I just confirm that nobody else gets this problem? If so, I'll 
assume it's something to do with my setup and I need to investigate further.

A couple of things I need to nail down.

1. Does it just happen on one PC?
2. Quitting and Restarting f-spot often seems to make a difference.
3. Everything seems ok for prospective Tag move, but action erratic. 
i.e. Target parent tag highlights when moused over and dragging source 
tag, and all looks ok, but when mouse released, tag either doesn't move, 
or goes to the wrong place.

If it's ME-specific, it might be a KVM switch thing, or a laser mouse 
thing, and I'll make a point of putting some time aside to try and nail 
it down. The thing that makes me think it MIGHT not just be me, is the 
point 3. above, where the tag move looks like it's going to work fine, 
but doesn't.

I'll try and do a bit more tag moving on my laptop with touchpad mouse 
and see if it happens there.

If I get no response to this post I'll assume it's just me getting this 
problem and start looking into my config in more detail.
