Yeah, I noticed that.  When I drop a Mozilla URL into XEmacs I only
get the first character.

OTOH, since I'm implementing the app myself, I can special case things
as needed.  Here's my code to dump the Mozilla and Konqueror info in
addition to the normal text versions.


import sys
from qt import *

class YEdit(QTextEdit):
     def __init__(self, *args):
         QTextEdit.__init__(self, *args)
         self.setTextFormat(Qt.RichText)
         self.setText("<qt>Hello <b>World!</b></qt>")
#        self.setAcceptDrops(1)

     def contentsDragEnterEvent(self, evt):
         if evt.provides("text/uri-list"):
             # KDE URL
             evt.accept(1)
         elif evt.provides("text/x-moz-url"):
             # Mozilla URL
             evt.accept(1)
         else:
             QTextEdit.contentsDragEnterEvent(self, evt)

     def contentsDropEvent(self, evt):
         url = None
         if evt.provides("text/uri-list"):
             url = str(evt.encodedData("text/plain"))
             if url[-1:] == "\0":
                 url = url[:-1]
             print "KDE", repr(url)
             evt.acceptAction(1)
         elif evt.provides("text/x-moz-url"):
             # Mozilla URL
             url = str(evt.encodedData("text/plain"))
             print "Mozilla", repr(url)
             evt.acceptAction(1)
         else:
             QTextEdit.contentsDropEvent(self, evt)
             return
         b = self.bold()
         self.setBold(0)
         self.insert("url=")
         self.setBold(1)
         self.insert(url)
         self.setBold(b)

class AppWindow(QMainWindow):
     def __init__(self):
         QMainWindow.__init__(self, None, 'yedit', Qt.WDestructiveClose)
         self._edit = YEdit(self, "Blah")
         self.setCentralWidget(self._edit)

def main(app):
     w = AppWindow()
     app.setMainWidget(w)
     w.show()
     app.exec_loop()

if __name__ == "__main__":
     app = QApplication(sys.argv)
     main(app)
