I suspect that the target over which the mouse button is released gives the
cue.  If it's the same column label as the mouse down then it's a sort, else
it's a drag.

If GTK+ adds the facility then I would expect it to emit a different signal
for the two operations.

On that note why does ethereal have its own copy of clist ?
