     * 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 (oldPos)
     * in the TQWidget::mousePressEvent().

     * in a TQWidget::mouseMoveEvent() exceeds this threshold

     * which should originate from oldPos.

     * void KColorCells::mousePressEvent( TQMouseEvent *e )
     * {
     *    mOldPos = e->pos();

     *       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())
