Yes, I test on GNOME Shell, though that's with Fedora.

You have to enable `mouse-drag-and-drop' too, I think the manual does
say this in the paragraph above the one where
`mouse-drag-and-drop-region' is explained.

But please suggest a better wording if that's confusing.  Also, please
report crashes, there are occasionally BadWindow errors which only occur
on GTK.

Thanks.
