The nice thing about this feature is that if you drag (don't click first)
the WM Browser does not become active and your Terminal window stays in
front for an easy drop.

Speaking of this (window in front stuff), I have occasionly (with 3.0)
gotten into a state where if I click on a window it comes forward but
is NOT active. However, if I click on the title bar it comes forward
and is active (I know about the Alt key stuff, no key pushing is involved
here.) This has only happened a couple of time and I can't reproduce it.
Has anyone else seen this (or was I just working too late.)
