Description Adam Roben (:aroben) 2009-12-22 07:05:12 PST 
If a WebKit client calls IWebView::initWithFrame without calling OleInitialize, initWithFrame will fail. This is because initWithFrame treats failure of RegisterDragDrop as fatal, and RegisterDragDrop fails if OleInitialize hasn't been called.

See <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKit/win/WebView.cpp?rev=52442#L2373> for where initWithFrame bails in this case.

We should either call OleInitialize automatically for the client, or just proceed without drag-and-drop support if RegisterDragDrop fails.
