Yep... and FVWM's equivalent to the dock is FvwmButtons, thus my comment
above :)
IOW, I can't think of anything the _core_ FVWM app would do with D&D,
but I can think of things that some of the _modules_ could do,
certainly.
I think it would be _'WAY_ cool if FvwmButtons supported D&D... I'd have
to look more closely at the protocol, though, to see how the FvwmButtons
configuration language would need to be extended to support it; I guess
you'd want to define new kinds of actions for the different types of
things that could be dropped on a button.
