	I checked, and that option is turned on, but apparently it doesn't do what
I'm looking for.
	With a regular application icon on the panel, e.g. Kate, I can drag a file
from the file list in Konqueror and drop it there, and Kate will open and
load that file/ similarly, I can drag/drop an image file on the Gimp icon.
With an application icon in QuickLauncher, though, the file is just added to
the launcher, it doesn't start the application.  I'm not sure what use a data
file is in QuickLauncher; that doesn't seem very useful to me.  I have to
open the application by clicking on its QuickLauncher icon, then drag the
file to the open application (if it has a drop area; Gimp has a relatively
small target for that.
	So that's a significant drawback to using QuickLauncher for me.
