That's not the behavior implemented in Weston right now. When the drag 
ends the user is able to set the input region again. In fact, the 
surface just becomes a regular wl_surface with no specified role.

Also, start_drag takes two wl_surface arguments so the paragraph above 
should make it clear it is referring to the icon surface.

Same thing here. Setting a new pointer surface releases the old one, 
making it a regular wl_surface with no specified role.
