The 'Open' window can remain up as you DnD items from it to the
toolbox. Rather important to know for this jbaker's use case, and I
didn't find it obvious (the 'Open' button is obvious, and in fact
deterred me from investigating DnD because it lead me to assume that
that was the dialog's main functionality and it had no DnD. Does GIMP
suggest to DnD in a tooltip? If it can, I think it should.)
