Just to confirm: the problem here is that people want to select 
something and end up accidentally moving it? And the current solution is 
a delay whereby a move can't start for a certain amount of time after 
selection?

The normal fix for this sort of problem is a "drag threshold", whereby 
you have to drag an item a certain distance before it will "break free" 
and start moving. Was this solution considered?
