I already discussed this with Christian on IRC: I think this behaviour
is definitly an improvement over the current, but I think it should be
consistent with what we do with the selection/context menu issue. (Which
column does what, when?). So I'd prefer to punt this for now until we
got that hammered out and had time to play with it - It'd be strange to
introduce this behaviour now and change it to something different for
2.14 again.
Also it might have a11y implications, since it makes dropping slightly
more difficult (if you try to hit a folder).
