sorry to repeat myself partially, but, seeing my original posting show
up in a digest of the list, i realized that i should probably clarify my
question.
part of what i wrote to the list:

i'm just concerned with stuff being dropped on it.
to be precise, what i'm talking about here is dropping something on the
application's _icon_, either from the finder, or via the use of an
icon-like proxy (e.g. an attachment to an email) from another app.
my assumption is here that dragging something onto an open window of an
already running app is an entirely different issue, which is not what
i'm interested in at this point.
thanks again,
