As you have probably seen there are functions to reorder, swap or move
iterators in the same level.  There is no such functionality for moves
to different levels (re-parenting).  What you have been advised on the
IRC channel seems the easiest way for now.  (This is also how tree
view implements the drag and drop of a row to a difference place in
the tree).

What is the problem you are having with the "cursor-move" event?  Did
you mean the move-cursor event?
