Hi,
The attached patch fixes the string processing of the URI to support Unix-style paths. This fixes DnD on X.
(Please CC me when this patch is applied, since I'm not subscribed to the list.) 



Hmmm, DnD *is* usually working on X. I have a Debian with KDE, and it's working pretty well.

How does your URL string really look like? Could you give an example?
On GNOME, when you DnD, it looks like "file:///usr/bin". This string was erroneously matched by the code which aimed to give a slash-less string -- a DOS path. Now we take the safe path on Unix, keeping one initial slash at all times. Just check the diff and see.
