I have konqueror open on half of the screen and scribus on the other half.
Drag and drop works pretty well most of the time (just not for what I want).
I assume when you say that drag'n'drop doesn't work you are referring to
windows?

The get image context window is just too slow for me and I like the fact
that I can have konq setup with all the thumbnails showing so its easier to
pick the image you need and then drop it in place.  Just a lot quicker when
dealing with lots of templates and lots of images.
