Maybe its time for KDE SC to find a better working style then to use as
its default...

Thats correct for any style out there, but IMHO not for the default
style that KDE ships. That style should not break user apps in strange
ways, just because it can. 

I don't know how this stuff works technically on MacOSX Cocoa, but I did
test Qt apps there and the only thing that one can use to drag the
window is the empty toolbar area (tested designer and assistant as well
as portedasteroids). I'm assuming there's a way on Cocoa to let the
Platform/Style know that a given widget allows user-interaction and
hence shouldn't be used to drag the window.

Until you add such an API to Qt styles I think its inapropriate for the
default KDE style to have window-dragging enabled on everything thats
not explicitly disabling it by handling mouse events itself. At least
disable it by default...

Anyway, thats just my last opinion on the matter, I'm glag I'm not using
a style that enforces me to decide which apps to use based on how
good/bad they behave with that style.
