Subject: Drag-And-Drop protocol for X Windows

With help from Arnt Gulbrandsen at Troll Tech and Elliot Lee from RedHat
Software, I have developed what we believe to be an efficient, complete,
safe, and easy to understand protocol for intra- and inter-application
Drag-And-Drop under X Windows. Arnt has implemented it in Troll Tech's Qt
widget library, I have implemented it in the JX application framework, and
we have proved inter-operability of the two implementations, thereby
allowing users to exchange data between any Qt program and any JX program.
We strongly urge other developers to consider supporting this protocol so
end users can get the maximum benefit from Drag-And-Drop. Both sample
source and a test program that can be used as both drag source and drop
target are available. The protocol is described at

Sincerely,
John Lindal
