d'n'd for archive extraction is fundamentally broken in ark, and it seems that this won't change within the near future. 

some nice examples: try to d'n'd a file from a relatively big archive (e.g. amarok-1.4.1.tar.bz2, 13MB). if you release the mouse faster than it takes to decompress the requested files (ca. 10s, since the whole archive has to be processed in the case of tarballs), d'n'd will fail ('empty clipboard'). and only my CPU monitor shows me that I have to press the mouse button a dozen of seconds longer than usual.

try to extract a folder (with files inside) with d'n'd: every file will be extracted twice, once inside the folder and another time within the top level of the hierarchy of the extracted files. and sometimes, extraction of folders completely fails (with a nice error dialog, but if I release the mouse button, the dialog disappears).

BTW: by pressing or releasing the left mouse button during the above tests (with KDE 3.5.3), i accidentally modified a couple of tarballs (moving/copying).
