 Wasn't that something _you_ wanted to do?=C2=A0 If not then we can obvi= ously
ignore it.

=E2=80=8BYes, I would like Emacs drag-and= -drop to work across Emacs frames and potentially even across other applica= tions using whatever protocol is common to the platform in use.

 Hardly.=C2=A0 Child windows are a separate problem because, for example, on= X
you currently cannot drop files on them - the drop goes to the parent
window instead.

=E2=80=8BWe would certainly live wit= hin the constraints of the drag-and-drop protocol.

 Window attributes are a problem on X.=C2=A0 You will learn about that as so= on
as you try to adapt your code for it.

=E2=80=8BOk.= =C2=A0 It would be more helpful if you explained which problems you feel ar= e relevant to the discussion at hand.
