[Gambas-user] Drag & Drop to KDE Desktop

[Doriano Blengino]

Dear Fabien,

you didn't read my message carefully. I specified I wanted to interact 
with desktop (kde), it is in the mail subject too.

Anyway, I tried your example. When doing D&D in the same application 
instance, the receiver correctly gets data and format. Dragging between 
two instances of the same application does work no more - the receiver 
(Drop event handler) only receives the format data.

This is encouraging. This evening I will try some more at home, here at 
work I don't have KDE.

Cheers,
Doriano.
