Try to adjust Treshold slider in Motion tab of Desktop Preferences ->
Mouse. Smaller value means less pixels before start drag operation.

Or, of course, edit /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/drag_threshold
GConf key. BTW the key documentation don't say that possible values are
between 1 and 10. Same missed info for all other similar keys for mouse
and keyboard. Can anyone open a bug? I can't do it now :-(
