With "the standard Emacs release" I mean the non-CVS version.

Ok, I see the problem with Qt. > GNOME and KDE are _not_ "basic widgets" but complete desktops. Never said that. *Menu bars* and *scrollbars* are basic widgets in the sense that they are supported by all GUI libraries (at least all GUI:s I know of). > Emacs > supports drag&drop from them to itself, but that is mostly the extent > of its capabilities.

Emacs precompiled on Fedora Core 3 (from the fedora repository) does not support drag'n'drop, but you are again referring to the developer version, right? -- August _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
