Of course you wouldn't have this problem if the interface didn't require
you to hold down the mouse button while moving the mouse.  I don't understand
why this is the case.  You should have to click to select/grab and 
click again to deselect/drop (but then again I'm not a MACer).  Thank God
this is a defaults option on the SUN.
