Hi!

I finished the work on the DnD feature.

It supports local files and URLs from the browser.
Maybe, we could a progressbar to show the process when downloading a handler.

The allowed MIME types are .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2. .zip and .py

Please test it and let me know if something goes wrong.

Sweet mother! It works. I just dragged Callum McKensies calculator  from http://spooky-possum.org/callum/software/ onto deskbar prefs and it worked without a hitch!

You rock Sebp!!!!1111one I'm adding this to CVS so we can get some testing on the road. There are several tweeks besides the progressbar (although I think it is overkill - after all most handlers will be a simple 100-200 line .py).

Loose ideas:
 - add a small hint a la the re-ordering one in the prefs
 - uninstall handlers? (this one os tricky)
 - drag files directly onto the deskbar ui (be it button or entry)

Anyways. Hoozaa!
