This has already been suggested by bug 161222 [1]. Also, I don't think
that hover&open is the right solution here. Instead, the buttons
(pathbar AND parent list) should directly represent the folder, i.e.
handle drops themselves instead of opening the folder in question, which
should also be true for the tasklist btw. (cf. [2]).
