dragging with 2 fingers for mac book pro touchpad

[khemara lyn]

Thanks for the quick reply. I could only make it work with "two-finger 
scrolling". I could not find anything related to "two-finger drag and 
drop"?

On the Mac, I could hold one finger on the touchpad and move another 
finger around to drag and drop something easily.

Can we do the same on Fedora 12?

Thanks & regards,
Khem
