Even if Bruce made that possible, as a settable option for the
default drop behaviour, I don't think you would like the result.

A drop into the main child window (i.e. the editable document part)
might be OK for some applications but consider MS Word for example.
If you drop on Word's title bar, the file is opened as a new
document window; if you drop in the main editing area it becomes
an embedded object. Other programs all have their own individual
way to react to that kind of drop.

Because of that, I think Bruce's idea is better - an option to make
the default drop on an active button behave the same as dropping
onto Windows TaskBar. That would allow you to make a suitable kind
of drop on *every* program - provided you know what that particular
program's drop targets are.

I think that means: after the window is Shown, you could drop
anywhere (including the main doc area if you wish) depending on
the program and your choice for this occasion.
