I've finally discovered a workaround to my problem. It is not ideal, but it works for us for now.
Unsetting the drag source and drag dest doesn't stop the effect, it just makes the drop not work anywhere. Returning TRUE to a handler for drag_begin seemed to do nothing. I effectively disabled drag and drop completely for the entire gtk application by setting the "gtk-dnd-drag-threshold" property to a value greater than the screen width. This works for me for now. If we ever need to do drag and drop in this application I will have to revisit this problem. After reviewing months of messages I found a few other people trying to disable this automatic drag-and-drop between entry widgets, but they didn't get any helpful answer, either. I hope that this workaround, though not a solution, may help some of those people. Kurt M.
