the "text/plain" entry is a conventional MIME type. google for MIME. the "STRING" entry is a hangover from historic X D-n-D, which was developed before MIME (or at around the same time). google for "X atom string drag drop". STRING is important for back-compatibility with many older programs. Newer DnD handling is all MIME based, just like your email. --p _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
