The most useful application of drag and drop for me is dropping files from 
Konqueror to a Kommander dialog. For this to work, the dialog only needs 
to catch drops of items that are strings. This string could be made 
available in a global variable ( @KMDR_DROPSTRING or something ). Also, we 
need an additional Kommander Text beside the current 'default' and 
'populate' texts. This Kommander Text should read the @KMDR_DROPSTRING 
string and do something with it.
