Hi Jeremy, great to see you here :)

In my test I used the message view of evo, draging a mail message onto
cssed.=20

The clue here, is that I'm only using Gtk's built into drag&drop
capabilities.

Gtk understand some DnD protocols: the Motif DND protocol, the Xdnd
protocol,the simple WM_DROPFILES protocol (Win32).

Applications should use Gdk signals to communicate with other apps while
a DnD action is running.

Right now cssed listens to DnD signals with the GdkDragAction bits set
to GDK_ACTION_COPY and GDK_ACTION_MOVE.

If GDK_ACTION_COPY it will paste (in this case as cssed is the Drag
destination) the dragged text in the editor window.

If GDK_ACTION_MOVE it will open the files dragged.

So it hardly depends on the protocols and signals, used by the DnD
source application.=20

I don't know what DnD protocol use xfe, but I'll take a closer look at
it.


Best regards.
