Dropping a Data File on an Action Icon

When the user drops a data file on an action icon, the system runs the action using that data file as the argument for the action (see How Actions Use Data Files as Arguments).

For example, when an XWD data file is dropped on the Xwd Display icon, the Xwud action is run using the data file argument. This runs the xwud X client with that data file.
