I am a complete novice in this arena, but isn't it part of the spirit of
open source that we contribute such innovations ourselves?

Perhaps it is too much bloat for remote admin, but some of us are interested
in de facto multi-tasking on the same desktop.  For us, this would be a
major - major benefit.

So, if some of us would like to look into developing a VNC+ that includes
drag and drop, where should we go for resources to get underway?

This looks like an interesting project, and eventually a real killer app;.
