Moreover, setting the variable non-nil unconditionally shows a tooltip on file names in Dired buffers saying that the user can drag the file to another program, but that is only so on X; on other platforms it's a misleading tooltip. As an aside, changing the value of the variable doesn't affect the Dired buffers that already exist, only those created afterwards, which I think is not the best UX. Can you please fix these issues? Thanks.
