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).
