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).
