rather than looking into World and how things are dropped, it was easier 
to see what was missing on the mp3 side. All classes in the categories 
Movies-Player and Movies-Kernel have been removed (if I was on the 3.10 
mailing list, I probably would already know this. Sorry for the 
redundancy if it is. Is there a list somewhere of removed classes?)
So, I added all back.
Dropping an mp3 on the World causes the expected dialog as 3.9, but I 
get an MNU on: MPEGSubtitlesDisplayer on: self selector: #subtitle.
I'll look into it. If someone has experience with this, please let me know.
Thanks!
