Build Identifier:  I20110613-1736; I20110805-1200

Drag in Webkit Browser is disabled in WebKit.java due to a bug of WebKitGTK:
/*
		* Bug in WebKitGTK.  Dragging an image quickly and repeatedly can cause
		* WebKitGTK to take the mouse grab indefinitely and lock up the display,
		* see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32840.  The workaround is
		* to veto all drag attempts.
		*/

But it seems that the bug is fixed. So we might re-enable the drag in browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a Browser using new Browser(shell, SWT.WEBKIT);
2. run, open a page and try to drag something in the browser 
3. The drag is disabled.
