2010-11-05 00:08:57 Eric Drechsel description Many users like to drag links from webpages and drop them on the launchers for other network-aware applications. For example, on http://publicradiofan.com I might drag a radio station link and drop it on the VLC or Rhythmbox launcher, which should cause the application to be launched with the URL as an argument. This usage is supported in Gnome-Panel, OSX Dock, Windows shell, etc, but doesn't seem to work with AWN's Task Manager.
