So far so good. But how can the user add something to a UrContainer?
Or is it there at the time of Creation of the UrShape?

Maybe. But well, if some folks come up with a third idea on how
UrContainers "should" behave, we can tell them to use the Callbacks.
By the way: If someone (for example me) wants to resrtict the DnD to
some UrShape types (i. e. let a case distinction add cases but no
loops), the Callbacks could prove handy. As well as a 'name' string
that identifies a UrShape.

I'll have a look at this GTK+ stuff.

I'm not quite sure if I know what this means.

Not at gnome cvs.

Well, that's no prob, since ConStruct (my diploma thesis) is actually
a SourceForge project. How's your sf member name`? Then I can grant
you CVS access.

Well, better late than never ;)

You have my empathy on this ;)

Maybe. If they don't want the glory... ;p

Funny, isn't it?
