Dom,
Could you file a bug describing the intended behavior for this, so that
people know what they need to implement on other platforms to match? From
scanning your patch, it looks like this is *only* for dropping files "into"
AbiWord windows. [1]
I'm presuming that you haven't identified any useful XP abstractions here,
or else these details could just be copied as a comment into the appropriate
platform stubs.

[1] The more sophisticated XP work needed to implement *internal* DND for
AbiWord is, I assume, still a post-1.0 issue. For example, AFAIK, we can't
yet:
- drag selections around inside AbiWord,
- nor drop them "outside" either.
The former is clearly XP, and at least some of the latter could be as well.
