But you cannot drop it on the selector themselves or on any other part of the toolbox window (e.g., the tabs attached to it, such as tool options, etc.) We should probably take care of the drag & drop issues in a separate thread (maybe I should file a bug report) because I don't think that our user interface is very consistent there. How do we explain to a user _why_ she should drop an image on the menu or on the icons of the tools, but not on the other parts of the GIMP windows? -Raphaël
