settings: open folders on dnd by default
I have been going back and forward on this. And even if I strongly think this is not good enough to be in the default installation of Nautilus, removing 'features' or behaviors that users were used to without providing a good alternative is even worse. Probably Nautilus didn't have such high standards when this was implemented, and this behavior was accepted even that emails from usability and accessibility were asking to not do it, but it was done given that no alternative was possible because of Apple patents on 'spring folders'. So final decision from my side and after discussing it with some people, is to continue shipping it by default until we have a better solution. The setting will be still there as 'open-folder-on-dnd-hover' and can be modified by the user using dconf. Discussions for better solution will be followed in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754455
