Patch for reparenting accounts through drag and drop

Any chance it could be combined with a key such as Ctrl+Left Mouse Drag?

I see the usefulness in the feature but I'd be afraid of accidentally moving accounts around if all it takes is a single click and drag, especially since you really shouldn't need this feature (often) once you have your accounts set up the way you want them.

Just my 2 cents

Yay!  I too would love to see this feature implemented -- when first getting
accounts set up and trying to figure out the best structure, it can be a bit
of a chore to reorganize the accounts tree without having any drag-and-drop,
so this functionality would be a welcome addition.

Cheers,
