     *  - *movestart* triggered after the start of a drag, pan, or zoom
     *  - *move* triggered after each drag, pan, or zoom
     *  - *moveend* triggered after a drag, pan, or zoom completes
     *  - *zoomend* triggered after a zoom completes
     *  - *dragstart* triggered after the start of a drag
     *  - *drag* triggered after a drag
     *  - *dragend* triggered after the end of a drag

In your case, using dragstart and dragend did seem the way to go to me.
However, I've looked at the code (trunk) and the drag* events seem to be
never triggered by OpenLayers. Does anyone know why?
