Title:
  drag & drop improvement: delay bringing window to front until mouse
  released

Bug description:
  Open a nautilus window and xmms. maximize natilus. Bring xmms on top
  (activate it). Nautilus is now on the background, yet some files are
  visible within it, because xmms does not cover it completely.

  Now, a natural action is to drag a file to xmms playlist. This is not
  possible because, as soon as you click the file in the nautilus
  window, nautilus goes on top and (being maximized) hides xmms. So, the
  only way to drag is to hover the tasklist and reactivate xmms.

  IMHO, a much better way exists (the one employed by MS. Windows):  the
  nautilus window should go on top only when the mouse is _released_
  (not when it is pressed). So a direct drag would be possible, without
  resorting to the tasklist.
