Either you want to fix it or you don't. Fixing it
means altering you system. That kernel is real old.
so I'd think you need to upgrade the whole thing

I tried DnD with NS on my Intel displayed on my Alpha 
by dragging a message from the Communicator window 
to a Message Center folder and it worked OK.

Alpha.
