Thank you, I had seen this put dismissed it as a DND implementation
thing ("...which must be true to enable automatic drag handling (the
first part of drag and drop) on this component..."). I still dislike
the lack of features it has, such as the different views, and the fact
that the right-click pop-up menu has only three options. The SystemUI
in Windows is lacking, especially.
