Drag and drop does not work from Dolphin file manager.
Comment 1 Marcel CLA 2010-06-09 05:39:57 EDT 
It seems that some part of KDE (or dolphin/konqueror) enforces more control over the drop action. Normally (d&d in between dolphin e.g.), it opens a small menu asking whether to copy or move (but SWT apparently does not know about that).
I don't know what drop feedback is expected from KDE but it would be nice if SWT could include support for that...

When using a keyboard accelerator, D&D works fine, but this is not a valuable solution, D&D should work out-of-the-box.
