What would FVWM do with a D&D protocol?

If useful things can be done with it, I think that in the future FVWM
would be happy to support linking with Xdnd (I agree that appears to be
the forming basic standard protocol) if available.

The only place I can think it might be useful, offhand, is in some of
the modules like FvwmButtons or possibly FvwmPager. It would be nice, I
suppose, if you could configure FvwmButtons to handle various types of
dropped items in different ways.
