At the moment I am playing with session management and DnD for xemacs. The
session management part seems to run (with the help of Carsten Schaar
<nhadcasc@fs-maphy.uni-hannover.de>, because I'm a bloody beginner with X),
but I need to implement DnD for the ApplicationIcon of XEmacs. This should be
done with a icon window, I think.

After this my plan was to implement all DnD types to XEmacs, so that you can
bind for example a mode to the type (i.e. dired for Dir, w3 for HTML, etc.).

I already have implemented this into Tk4.2p2 (see it at
http://rhein-zeitung.de/~ograf/wm/ ) as TkStep4.2. There are also the session
management patches.

Regards,
  Oliver.
