Yes, that's the patch I referred to.
It's not attached to the original bug report, but the patch is mentioned in
the comments.
FYI: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-47981
I know part of the XDND protocol, but I do not fully understand what that
patch tries to do and how it works.
It's a good idea to test that patch if I have more time later though.

Thank you.
