Title: Use a timeout to abort long uneventful drag operations.

This is an attempt to work around issue #731, by setting a timeout that will cancel any drag-and-drop operation that does not produce any events in five seconds. It works fine in my testing, but there is an issue with the the window list not being fully responsive for a few seconds after a cancelled drop - hopefully somebody with more insight in DND or the window-list applet can fix that.
