If you instead click on an interactive part (like a rearrangable button bar or something), the `m_caption.tracking` flag will not be set, and the entire method is a NOP.

If you make the mistake of marking an interactive node on the header bar as `DRAGGABLE`, then you still won't be able to DnD this node, as the only events you'll ever receive are `MOUSE_PRESSED` and `MOUSE_RELEASED`, but no intermediate `MOUSE_DRAGGED`. The move-modal loop that moves the window will eat all the intermediate events.
