But it is far too easy to make mistakes using the current behavior.

I have the prompt turned off for the "Do you want to delete the empty 
metacontact" confirmation. What this means is, if I accidentally drag a 
contact's icon a few pixels, when I meant to just click it, the contact is 
moved away into someone else, his metacontact is deleted, and now I need to 
re-create it and move him back and re-do the KABC association. Its a huge 
PITA. Even if the prompt's confirmation was still enabled so that the 
original MC could be saved, the contact would be moved and I would have to 
move him back.

Having you need to use a different mouse button than the clicking / dragging 
listview item button makes perfect sense IMO.
