Here is the state of my disable-the-drag quest:
Currently, I've worked around the problem by executing following script inside 
html document:

document.addEventListener("dragstart", function(evt) { evt.preventDefault(); });

I'm still looking for a cleaner way to do (without messing up with the browsed 
pages).

I've discovered that gtk defines a property gtk-dnd-drag-threshold which is
not managed by WebKitWebView. If it becomes managed in WebKit/GTK+, I can 
possibly set it to some big value.

So, I've opened bug #64459[1] about it.

I currently don't known how to fix it, but if you think 
gtk-dnd-drag-threshold would be an interesting feature to have in WebView, I'd 
be glad to get some guidance for that bug.
