I need to comment your answer, so it will be one more posting...

|   We use XDND or Motif for the drag and drop protocol since   

Sorry, Chris, but this is not true.
I tested now (Konqueror 2.2.1, KDE 2.2.1, Mozilla 0.9.5)
1) dragging url from Konq's location bar to Mozilla's location bar  
 -> doesn't work
2) dragging text file to Mozilla's location bar or to browser's space  
 -> doesn't work
3) dragging HTML file to Mozilla's location bar or to browser's space  
 -> doesn't work

at the same time,
a) dragging URL from Konq's Location bar to another Konq's location bar 
 -> works
b) dragging URL from Konq's Location bar to Kmail 
 -> works, you can't D'n'D a whole folder but if you have web page or file 
opened - file will be attached to the mail
c) dragging URL from Konq's Location bar to Desktop
 -> works.
And wow - I see wonderful HTML page preview on desktop after it! :-)

Probably this is the reason for all problems.

Thanks for advise, but I strongly back this article (originally published on 
NewsForge)
http://kde2.newmail.ru/Learning_from_Mozilla_mistakes.html
"Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it." 

As I wrote in comments to this article, 
"It's not very common to find constructive critics of Mozilla project. 
Therefor I was very much surprised to find very interesting article by Robin 
'Roblimo' Miller, analyzing in histrorycal aspect problems of Netscape and 
Mozilla."
