====== Cannot drop files into the ImageJ window in KDE 4.x ======
The new KDE 4.x window manager has changed the way the Desktop is managed.
A widget called **folder-view** shows the contents of the ~/Desktop folder on the physical desktop (i.e. on screen).
However this prevents //drag and dropping// files in the ImageJ window. The problem is that the string pointing to the file is not the directory name itself, but handled as a kio slave called **desktop:** (note the colon).

The solution to this is to change the settings of the folder-view widget:
  - Right click on the folder-view
  - Select "Folder View Settings"
  - Select "Show a custom folder"
  - Navigate to the location of your Desktop folder (i.e. /home/user_name/Desktop )

You now can drag and drop files from the Desktop shown on the screen.
