Actually, after some thinking, it might be good to have both this and
the draggable icon in the menubar-- If the program doesn't already have
info for the saved file when it's dragged, it can pop up the GTK save
dialog, but with the default path set to where the file was dragged.

I'd also like to make the suggestion that, since some apps aren't
friendly towards drag-drop opening, to make the GTK open dialog to be a
valid XDnD target.
