Good point. It's like women, you don't need hundreds of good friends,
you only need a real relationship (girlfriend).

... and one is lacking this feature, the other that and so on.
I'm thinking of a X11-based drag&drop-protocol, i.e. a pointer to
memory which contains the "shared" data. But I'm actually not quite
sure how this could be done for remote-applications.

Being part of the core X-protocol drag&drop would be possible between
different widgets and there would be no need for huge environment-libs
like kdelibs or gnomelibs.

Does M$-Windows has such a centralized drag&drop-functionality?

ACK.
 
It does the job well, it is portable, it is widely used. Perhaps it's
the only Ada-GUI worth thinking about.

Like always, there is so much rubbish out there. It should all be cleaned
away and concentrated work should be done for the remaining usable code :)
