Yep... now that you mention it, I have a suggjestion about that too... In
Windows, if I drag something over a task bar item, that window is brought
into focus and raised. I'd like this in GNOME. What I have always found
stupid in windows is this: If I drag a file onto the taskbar and drop it
there on an Explorer window, Windows bitches and tells me to wait for that
window to be brougt to focus so I can drag my file there. What'd be great
is if I could just drop my file onto the taskbar button (eg for GMC) and
have that be interprited as a drop into the directory that GMC is looking
at.
