Comment(by bryce2@…):

 I also find myself moving objects unintentionally.
 And even more often wondering if I just did move something or not (but
 afraid to press undo because it might undo a real change I just made).
 -------------------------------------------------------

 The options here seem to be:
 1) Drag unselected object moves the object.
 2) Drag unselected object results in select & pan.
 3) Beginners pan with arrow keys, advanced users pan with shift-drag
 4) Use undocumented ActionScript to allow advanced users to drag with the
 right mouse button (ala JOSM).

 Personally I like option #3, even though it presents some barrier to new
 users understanding how to move around.
