I am wondering whether agent could see when a file is being dragged,
and get file information.
If it could, then agent can send a xfer start message to client, and
wait for xfer status, and ....   But it seems that it's difficult for
agent(or impossibility?)

I need to do some research about how virtualbox implement this.
