Wouldn't it be reasonable to accept drops anywhere on a Nautilus

have them copied inside the directory.
Well, there is one class of object inside the window that should be a
drop target: the icons in the list. ;-) Sub-folders and applications,
for specific examples.
And I realize now, after finally replying to your email, that you might
have been suggesting that the window/chrome become a drop target for the
folder that the window represents as an addition to being able to drop
on objects within the list.
I think that'd be fine, if technically possible (not sure it is in X).
But it's still important that the user has a target area in the list
area, even if it's filled with icons that are drop objects themselves.
Mac has always had it, Windows has it, probably others I haven't used.
Users expect it, and it presents (typically) a large target area,
regardless of allowing drops on the surrounding window chrome.
