Hey,
There is also a Drupal accessibility online forum where all of these questions
can be discussed http://groups.drupal.org/accessibility
I have written an article about how to use the drag-and-drop interfaces in
Drupal 6 with JAWS, if you don't like the disable Javascript approach.
http://zufelt.ca This problem is resolved in Drupal 7
