It does nothing, the OS prevents the file to be dropped (I get the
"drag and drop forbidden" mouse pointer). Although the Ethereal window
receives the focus.

Ethereal only gets there at startup. When I start Ethereal so it opens
already a file, then Ethereal stops twice at this point: once at
startup and once at start of reading the capture file entered at the
comand line.

Neither do I... it looks like either my GTK2 on cygwin does not like
drag and drop, or the OS explicitly prevents drag and drop. For what
it's worth, I'm running the latest cygwin XFree86 X server with the
"-clipboard -multiwindow" options.
