right, this just means adding another branch to Containment::dropEvent after 
the } else if (KUrl::List::canDecode(event->mimeData())) { line.

let's see .. *taps away* yes, not hard to do.

the problem, however, is that applets do not expect a blob of data in memory, 
but a file on disk. which, i suppose, means we'll have to either create the 
temporary file in that method ourselves or expect applets to deal with memory 
blobs as well. i like the former.

p.s. i've added your Other Email Address to the acceptable addresses, so you 
won't get caught accidently in the moderation queue anymore =)
