If XDND is broken, is it possible to use the Offix DND interface instead? I
guess... I'm not really sure what XDND is, exactly. For instance, my main
usage of wmaker's DND-support is to allow the user to drag a file object from
the ROX filer (which is a GTK-2.x application) to one of the application
icons on the Window Maker dock or clip.

Anyway, if I somehow get the old Offix DND support to work, then would I need
to patch the ROX filer to use the Offix protocol as well? Or would I need to
patch the X server? Or,... maybe no patching is needed?
