This, or the mouse-click stealing that I advised to the original writer 
of this thread is what I had in mind, to fix kdegames (meaning: to alter 
the normal behavior foreseen by oxygen in a way that is consistant with 
what kdegame devs want). I'll do that tomorrow, promise.

As for QGraphicsView, I would rather have this sorted out on a case by 
case basis, because indeed, they sometime look just like normal windows, 
and therefore expected to be dragable.

Cheers,

Hugo
