Then the real issue is the same as mentioned in another issue: the failure of the mouse pointer to distinguish by its shape between moveable and immovable elements...

This is not a bug. The cursor is changing to an I-beam because it is over top of text. The same change happens over any text.
On the portlet reordering page
http://build.fluidproject.org/sakai-imagegallery-tool/sample-code/reorderer/abstract/portal/portlets.html
the cursor changes type over the the immovable portlets as well as the moveable ones.
