Description Antonio Arena 2009-06-22 14:13:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I can drag 'n' drop files from Finder to an application on dock and have that application open the file. This doesn't work with gedit.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gedit so it's in the dock
2. Drag a file from Finder to gedit icon on the dock
3. Drop the file on the icon


Actual results:
Nothing, the drop is lost.

Expected results:
gedit should open the dropped file 

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
MAC OSX 10.5.7
