Details:

When dragging an outline's item, dragging is only accepted when the
dragging is done to the side. When dragging it below, the item below is
selected instead of the outline view starting a drag operation. This
behaviour makes dragging from outlines very hard. (I think it's the same
problem for table views as well.)

I guess the problem could be solved by letting the NSOutlineView remember the
item where the mouse button went down. It could then decide whether to select
or drag by checking if the curser is currently over the same item where the
button went down.
