Gnome shell broke on my installation in the first update so haven't been
back to try to figure out how to make it useful, nor do I ever plan to. 
That said, you make an interesting point when you mention dragging from
Nautilus to Geeqie.  I have never tried that.  I am referring to dragging
from Geeqie to Geeqie.  After reading your post, though, I tried dragging
from Konqueror to Geeqie and it copied the file, no questions asked. 
Interesting variation that I had not tried before.

As feared and expected, my third machine lost its drag/drop functionality on
the last upgrade.  So, to reiterate:  can anyone comment on what library (if
any) Geeqie uses to respond to a drop operation in the directory tree?  Yes,
I might be able to figure it out with yum's logs, but hoped a dev might be
reading this and be able to share some insight.  Maybe it's the lack of a
Gnome shell....
