The problem is DND itself: the data is transferred on *drop*,
at which point the layers dialog has switched to the new image
already. I have a way of fixing this, but it's a bit intrusive.
Will have to wait for the patch in master to see how intrusive
the actual code is, and then decide on backporting.
