In Jim’s build, yes, drag and drop works, but it still does this:

1. C-h k (describe-key)

2. Drag and drop something into the text
   area of the window.

3. Emacs incorrectly complains:
   "Position not in text area of window"

And PDF viewing is broken on Jim’s build (DocView complains “the pdf process exited abnormally”).
