I am on Ubuntu running trinity that is a fork of KDE3 for more recent
Ubuntu versions.

I spit the windows in two and tried to drag a file from one directory to
the other in same window. That failed. 

However I just realized that it works if I open a new frame (of the same
emacs), at least of one per one base, but it seems I can drag and drop a
bunch of files (if I am not mistaken)


That is indeed very nice (although I am not a huge fan of
frames...)

Thanks
