     * Returns a treshold in pixels for drag & drop operations.
     * As long as the mouse movement has not exceeded this number
     * of pixels in either X or Y direction no drag operation may
     * be started. This prevents spurious drags when the user intended
     * to click on something but moved the mouse a bit while doing so.
     *
     * For this to work you must save the position of the mouse (@p oldPos)
     * in the @ref QWidget::mousePressEvent().
     * When the position of the mouse (@p newPos)
     * in a  @ref QWidget::mouseMoveEvent() exceeds this treshold
     * you may start a drag
     * which should originate from @ref oldPos.
     *
     * Example code:
     * 
     * void KColorCells::mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent *e )
     * {
     *    mOldPos = e->pos();
     * }
     *
     * void KColorCells::mouseMoveEvent( QMouseEvent *e )
     * {
     *    if( !(e->state() && LeftButton)) return;
     *
     *    int delay = KGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay();
     *    QPoint newPos = e->pos();
     *    if(newPos.x() > mOldPos.x()+delay || newPos.x() < mOldPos.x()-delay ||
     *       newPos.y() > mOldPos.y()+delay || newPos.y() < mOldPos.y()-delay)
     *    {
     *       // Drag color object
     *       int cell = posToCell(mOldPos); // Find color at mOldPos
     *       if ((cell != -1) && colors[cell].isValid())
     *       {
     *          KColorDrag *d = KColorDrag::makeDrag( colors[cell], this);
     *          d->dragCopy();
     *       }
     *    }
     * }
