As I said earlier, it is possible to drag the map even if the drag starts in a floatPane object -- at least if you're using a Mac OS X or Windows browsers. You have to be using a class like InfoBox that lets you turn this capability on or off. (google.maps.InfoWindow always turns the capability off -- it never passes mouse events on to the map.) The only situation I've found where the InfoBox drag isn't handled by the map is on iPhone (haven't tried Android). Apples' event handlers seems to be getting in the way somehow.
