I just want to pipe in that the DnD approach should always, always be to
have same action based on the left mouse button.  IE: dragging files around
in a file manager should always be MOVE, or let the user have an option with
right drag (or left drag + meta key).  I hate linking or copying files so
much by accident that I haven't left dragged on a Windows machine since
1997.  I don't know of anyone who does left drag.  So MS has effectively
gone and made the mouse single button for file management :)
