Hi Jonathan

It looks to me that the user doesn't get notified that part of the DnD 
has failed.

Would it be better to perhaps include something like:

warning_dialog(_("Drag and Drop failed"), "some text", 
GTK_STOCK_DIALOG_WARNING, NULL);

some where in there? (Although the code doesn't know what its parent is, 
so that may also be a problem).

Sorry, but I cannot test here this because I cannot replicate that fault 
on my system.


My apologies if I have misunderstood your solution.
