middle mouse for dragging is not standard behaviour. left mouse always drags. 
KTabWidget breaks this behaviour because left mouse drags the contents of the 
tab, as expected.

all that's really needed here is a confirmation dialog that you wish to move 
the contact. the user gets one when they move the last contact out of a 
metacontact, so i see no reason why they shouldn't get one every time. 

clicking "Do not show again" is a way around this for those who are sure of 
their dragging skills ;)
