Hm... Seems like a known problem though. The "x-root" hack states:
    // this is a ugly hack to make Dnd work
    // Matthias told me that it won't be necessary with kwin
    // actually my first try with ICCCM (Dirk) :-)                            

Starting kdesktop with --x-root seems to solve all problems: DND works and 
you can't move the desktop.

Any reason why x-root isn't the default?

Cheers,
Waldo
