Enable Drag & Drop - GoogleWave and Ubuntu 9.10

You can drop content from a webpage into a wave but not by default. To be able to drop content into a wave you need to have Google Gears installed. In Ubuntu simply

1) Go to the synaptic package manager under system > system administration

2) Search for "gears"

3) Check the box for "gears" - Browser extension that enables more powerful web applications

c4) Click apply.

Once gears has installed you will be able to drag and drop content from a website into a wave, for example a photo from a website into a wave without having to download it and then upload it to the wave.
