KDE 1.x used a KDE specific dnd protocol.  KDE2 and Qt 2.x both use
the XDND protocol.  They are >NOT< compatible so KDE 1.x and KDE2/Qt2
apps will not natively be able to dnd with each other.

Drops from Netscape work since Motif dnd is hacked into Qt.

It's not a flaw at all.  Drops from KDE 1.x into Qt 2.x will never
work -- they are using totally different protocols.

I honestly don't know if we'll have some support in KDE 2.0 to handle
legacy apps dnd.  I can promise that it will be looked at, though...
