Thanks, with
(setq mouse-drag-and-drop-region t
mouse-drag-and-drop-region-cross-program t)
this does indeed work. I think what's confusing about that node is that
the start of the node goes into details about dragging *to* Emacs (what
with dnd-indicate-insertion-point etc). And then midway through the
node, it starts talking about dragging *from* Emacs.
Perhaps it should be split into two subsections -- one about dragging to
Emacs, and one about dragging from Emacs (after the first paragraph
which talks about dragging and dropping in general).
