Bug 212081

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    I Don't Know

The idea is as follows:

When you drop an item on a taskbar entry there is a drop signal sent to the application with the data that was dropped. The application can handle the data any way that it sees fit. They key here is that the application accepting the data does not necesarily focus.

The current alternative is to hold your drag over the taskbar item and wait for the application to focus. You then drop whatever you want in the place

Some samples of possible uses:

- drop a URL on konqueror then it loads that URL. -
- Drop a File on dolphin in gives the same move/copy option as if files are being copied.
- Drop Dolphin onto dolphin closes one dolphin instance and loads the second one's location as a tab in the first

I would appreciate some feedback here because I realise that an incorrect implementation of this feature can compromise usability. But a correct implementation can make KDE much more intuitive and user friendly(in my opinion).
