Oops, your right as usual Regina. The DnD opens/unpacks the document onto sd
Draw/Impress or sc Calc cell--why not to sw Writer canvas? So guess that is
actually a bug? Checked and the DnD behavior (no response) is inherited from
OOo with LO 3.3.0.4 release.

But also, the DnD OLE gets default handling of copying into document (not
linked), and of extracting into an OLE frame (no Icon view). 

A bit unwieldy compared to precision of "OLE Object..." insertion dialog--and
maybe not what folks used to the MSO way expect being dropped as an Icon. When
we do the same with an .ODT being DnD it by default is placed as a
Section--rather than an OLE object.
