Regression occurred at http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/53296.

That change removed some IE compatability code, wherein, if the dragenter
or dragover handling called preventDefault() but did not set a dropEffect
then the browser would select an appropriate dropEffect.

With that code removed, preventDefault() was not enough to allow the drop
event because the default dropEffect was set to 'none'.  Chrome 5.0.342.3
includes this change.  Pupload calls preventDefault(), but does not set a
dropEffect, so no drop event is generated:

This regression was fixed on http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/55977 but I
recommend you use the gears desktop.setDropEffect() to better control the
dropEffect cross-browser.  There is an example here:

  http://code.google.com/p/gears/source/detail?r=3425

and that example works fine on Chrome 5.0.342.3.

I added the dropEffect call and confirmed that this is now working correctly in
latest nightly.
