Description Matthias Clasen 2014-09-02 13:36:01 UTC 
Wayland doesn't seem to have any support for dropping on 'root' - ie outside of any client.
Comment 1 Carlos Garnacho 2014-09-02 15:14:34 UTC 
Hmm, right. It's true that's not specified anywhere. Definitely nothing prevents the compositor from acting as a peer in wl_data_device operations, so in principle it should be possible to have it accept the target "application/x-rootwindow-drop" if it is one of the offered types.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2015-12-03 18:15:20 UTC 
Lets close this for now. I don't know that we actually need this for anything. Creating new windows by dragging notebook tabs works fine as-is.
