If you need me to test anything, make it either early before
the weekend or after I've settled in the upgrade or reinstall of Red
Hat 5.1 (on to the libc formerly known as six). Also, let the kde
people in on it -- I forwarded mail to you from one of their
developers.
Yes, thanxx. I'm already conferencing with the KDE developers, but support for
them will not go into 21.0 (the changes for the current protocol are small:
OffiX must recognize type 128 drops as multi-URL drops) cause of the feature
freeze (or should I add it -- well I will send in a patch if it is not good we
can put it in the tests dir for people who want to try...).
KDE will soon switch to the Xdnd protocol, but this will take time on their
side also.
If you want to test the code, eval tests/Dnd/droptest.el. But 'real' tests are
only possible after I put hand on dired...

Oliver.
