No, but it does for sure the same thing wrong as nearly everybody does. The 
problem is that for starting a drag you use normally QListView::itemAt() to 
find out if the user clicked on an item and start a drag if it returns an 
item. And the +/- sign is part of the item. So you have to do the trick like 
it is done in the dirview example in beta3 (around line 450) and IIRC I 
added some docu for the in QListView::itemAt() for beta3.
