[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-protocol V2] vd_agent.h: drag-and-drop support

[Hans de Goede]

Hi Dunrong Huang,

Thanks for your continued work on this!

And sorry that we keep tweaking the protocol, but getting the
protocol right is very important as we cannot change that later.

Hmm, looks like they have a very generic drag and drop mechanism between the client
and their agent. I wonder if they support actual arbitrary drag and drop between
client and guest (I don't think so)? Anyways if we want that we can always add something
like that later, for now we are focussing on drag and drop of files only.
