I don't know; I'm mainly concerned that it not draw attention to itself.
A different glyph might be suitable, but at least on my system, the drag
cursor is quite large and noticeable.
I don't think that it's easy to get cursor glyphs from X, so I guess
it'd have to be a custom bitmap anyway.

It doesn't matter. This feature is not so important that it's worth
making general emacs usage worse to "advertise it"; if it's useful,
people will find it via documentation (incl. tool-tips) and word of
mouth anyway.
Of course, it would be best if there's a compromise: For instance, a
much lighter-weight version of the usual drag cursor, or something that
looks like the sort of "grab-handle" Gnome themes usually use.
