[AG-TECH] Rat MBUS funny

[Piers O'Hanlon]

Thanks for reporting this - Unfortunately this is probably due to the
MBUS timing-out whilst you're dragging the RAT user interface around.
The RAT UI and media-engine communicte using the MBUS. We will need to
notify the MBUS that the User interface is aware that is being
'dragged'.

This shouldn't affect VIC since it is single process application -
whereas as I explained RAT consists of two processes.
