Almost 100% correct!!!
This problem of windows coming to the forground when you drag an icon is part
of a larger problem or WPS Option prefably.  A window should be able to take
the focus without coming to the foreground.  The window focus should be 
able to be different from the foreground window.  I think this would be a
wonderful option for the workplace shell, and it would fix this problem of
draging icons around.
