Drag and drop in X11 is not currently standardized. There currently exist
at least four incompatible protocols for doing something that is standard
in the MS Windows world.
It seems like various people on the Qt, KDE, JX, and gtk projects want to
come up with a standard protocol for drag and drop, possibly along with a
reference implementation. The protocol should encompass all possible drag
and drop operations.
There's a mailing list we can use for discussing this -
libapp-list@cuc.edu. To subscribe, send a message to
libapp-list-request@cuc.edu with a subject of 'subscribe'. This is a
closed mailing list for protocol implementers mostly; with your
subscription request please put a reason why you want to subscribe in the
body of your message.
Thanks,
