Establish Policy

The drag-and-drop API establishes policy in three areas:

• Common targets. Where available, existing selection targets defined by the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM) are used.

• Data transfer protocols. The API hides some of the details of data transfer and presents the data to the application in the form of some simple data structures.

• Default drag icons. Default drag icons are provided for applications that can accept them.
