First of all, thanks for sharing the workaround! I'm not familiar with the X11 drag&drop stuff, so I cannot comment on it. You said that a patch is in the Qt bug tracker, but all I could find with a bit of searching is a link to this Chromium report, which has a patch: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=543940 Is that the patch you mean? Do you know if it has been submitted for review to Qt? If not, do you think that you could make that happen (since you seem to know quite a bit about drag&drop) or help to make it happen?
