Yes. It is part of the new DnD spec.

Dnd from/to nautilus and konqueror mostly works.

Of course, things can go funky with escaping. Most apps probably doesn't 
encode the URI in UTF8 yet, but the spec doesn't specify an encoding, or 
allow one to be specified in the list, so UTF8 is the only non-broken 
choice.
