Hi Alan and Daniel,

I can confirm this patch restores basic drag-and-drop functionality -- 
for example I can drag URLs from a browser into emacs.

However, there still seems to be regression with respect to the behavior 
of the package org-download (https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download) -- 
images dragged from a web browser are no longer recognized as 
attachments, only their URLs are getting pasted.

Best,
Paul
