Dropping any item, including a folder, in a terminal window inserts the
path to that item. This has worked since Gnome 1.4 and possibly earlier,
Mac OS X 10.1 and possibly earlier, Windows 95 before that, the MPW
Shell before that, and the AmigaDOS 2.0 Shell before that.

However, dragging a folder onto a Terminal *launcher* should indeed open
a terminal at that directory. Good idea. :-)
