I was referring to a "drop box" in a sense of opening in a new window. 
So I have folder A, and I just drag folder A to the desktop to make a
new window.  I think it would be cool simply because I don't use desktop
icons; they make me lazy and I end up with an abhorrent desktop.

Here's another thought: what's the idea so far as to dragging files?  I
read somewhere in here that you're considering having a move/copy menu
just like rox?  I'm against this; I think it should be left-click drag
moves, right-click drag copies.  It's not hard to learn and it's more
efficient.

Again, I'm talking about my dream filer here, and hope my input can help
make Thunar even cooler.  (I love open source :D)
