I may be missing something. As far as I can tell your proposal is that
the source and destination send sets of actions to the compositor, the
compositor then intersects the sets, and sends the result of the
intersection to the source and destination.
My proposal is that only the source sends a list of actions, and the
compositor sends that list to the destination. The destination
intersects with it's list internally and sends the result of the
intersection to the compositor, which then sends it back to the source.
Otherwise everything is identical to what you are proposing.
* How are actions conveyed? do we encode these in the mimetype
string? how do we standardize on the actions? how do we make
that backwards compatible?
The exact same way they are being conveyed by your proposal. You have
both the source and destination sending a list of actions to the
compositor, use the same api here.
* How do drag destinations react to unhandled options? Say a
drag source appends "?action=ask" when you press Alt and the
drag destination only knows copy/move, how does this fallback
to an action that both parts recognize?
Since the destination figures out which of the offered actions to use,
it would not select this one. It would select another one. If it does
not like any of them then we are in the exact same state as your
proposal when the intersection is empty.
* Additionally to modifier state, there's other
keyboard/accessibility features as DnD is done in GNOME/GTK+
(eg. DnD driven by cursor keys), these must be implemented on
the compositor, this sounds like conflicting with the
expectation in your proposal to have the drag source receive
key events [1].
I don't understand at all. Your proposal also requires the drag source
to receive key events, since it can use those to change the set of
actions (for instance to add the "ask" action like you said in the
previous question).
