   The Mozilla (1.1) on X URL drag format appears incompatible with most
editors. On Windows, Scintilla can receive the URL text but not on X where
it is looking for "STRING", "TEXT", "COMPOUND_TEXT", or "text/uri-list"
formats. OTOH Classic Netscape uses a widely supported drag format.
Scintilla wouldn't be a good candidate for your other requirements, I'm just
mentioning it because I understand how its drag and drop code works.
