Three thoughts:

1) You should file a bug in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ on this issue,
   and attach the patch there so it doesn't get lost.

2) You definitely need some feedback while moving the pane. iirc, GTK+
   1.2 had and xor line it drew to show the area it's being moved to.

3) You need to give a rationale for the feature.  Why is the current
   constant updating not sufficient?

Thanks,
