Need to add support for dragging files to the desktop. Useful for things like quickly saving attachments embedded in emails.

Do we have any idea how to do this? If so, we need a better description of the work to be done. If not, then the duration swag needs a big 'ol question mark.
Target Milestone: M19 → M18
Swag: - figure out best way to pass data into tranferable (1 day) - figure out how to route the right data into the OS (1 day) - rewrite win32 nsDataObj to know about all transferables (1 day) - add mac code promising FSSpec (1 day) - figure out how to hook this up on gtk (2 days) -- blizzard? win32 is dependent on a bug we don't know how to fix. linux is an unknown. then there's coordinating landing on 3 platforms....

Whiteboard: 3-4 days → 4-6 days
2 days sounds reasonable for gtk
Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Put on release note to Save As... for workaround.

Does this bug include d&d of URLs on Unix (e.g. to Navigator 4.x)? If not, is there a bug on that?
no, this bug is different, though i don't know what bug that would be...
mozilla@bucksdh.org: if you query for bugs that I wrote a few weeks ago, you may find it if it exists. (I wrote a ton of D&D bugs in one day, probably including that one.)
Adding nsbeta2 keyword to bugs with nsbeta2 triage value in status field so the queries don't get screwed up
