Version 4 of the XDND Drag-And-Drop protocol is finished.  The protocol is
described at

    http://www.its.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/

The protocol for dropping on the root window has been rewritten to conform
to the latest Gtk+ implementation.

This protocol is now supported by JX, Qt, and GTK+, so programs written for
Gnome, programs written for KDE, and programs like Code Crusader and Arrow
will all be able to work together on the same desktop.

The full (and growing) list of supporters is at
