Can you be more precise? What do you mean "say to the application"?
By dragging the file to the desktop printer icon the application
associated with the file type knows I want to print it. Your way is open
application with double click on file, open print option in menu... I
used Mac OS for many years, drag and drop desktop printing was
considered progress when we got it. It is. I confirm.
Right-click on the file?
Right click was my first guess but no, no print option in Gnome.
Drag and drop the panel?
In FC1 there was a printer icon in the panel. Choose PDF file, drag to
Icon and it printed. Not in FC3...
Double-click and
open the application for it?
Sucks.
Something else?
Right click in Evolution would be really nice. But that is not FC3.

Um, that seems like a bit of an overreaction.
No, I watch satellite TV (the BBC) using VDR and the VDR-xine plugin.
FC1 = no problems. Install VDR, get xine source and patch with VDR-xine,
make xine, make vdr. Install lirc, configure remote. Start VDR and xine,
teach xine remote commands, watch TV. From day one after buying the DVB-
S card to first evening of TV = 1 week.
FC3, third week? forgotten... No remote yet.
No udev script found so far works with DVB. I have to manually create
devices. It took me one week to be able to watch TV again.
lirc is not working. At all. A PVR without remote is about as good as
a... (almost got carried away...). I can't record shows to disk.
Dear Colin, tell me more about progress!
We are all working together towards a better desktop OS n'est pas? By
going back to FC1 with a better X server and hardware support that works
I can get on with what is most important: my life.
Shame, because what actually does still work in FC3 is faster, smoother,
better looking.
