Yes, they do. This dialog is the first thing people see when starting
GIMP. And a large fraction of our users are beginners. So we have a good
chance hear to give them a helping hand. If we don't do that, this will
most likely be the last time they ever used GIMP.

You missed one of the mails in this thread then. If we use this window
as a DND target, where should our users drop images when it is not
there? That looks like a severe usability problem to me and I don't
think we need run any tests to see this.
