[Typo3] Drag and drop in backend

Great work!! I've just tried it out on all my browsers:
It works perfect on Firefox, Konqueror, MSIE and Opera! :-)

True. May be confusing otherwise.

> - get the icon to be customised based on the type of page being moved

Not so important.

Indeed, me too! I'd love to have this functionality moved into the core as
soon as possible. Are you fine with that?

A solution might be to cancel the action when the mouse comes back into the
frame. Just check if the mousebutton is pressed or not...
