Hi, the DnD is not restricted to any granularity like it is in glade 2,
if you didnt manage to find DnD support, currently its only working
with the SHIFT modifier (you'll get mouse feedback) and works with
GtkTable,GtkBox,GtkLayout & GtkFixed (we'll be making that feature
more obvious for 3.4 by adding a toggle button for selection mode).

If the granularity of DnD is an issue for you, please file a bug
under the glade3 product in bugzilla.gnome.org.

(note you can always use x & y packing properties directly for
exact precision placements).

Yes thats a known bug, currently you cant select comboboxes in the
workspace - you can workaround this by selecting it in the inspector for
now (I'm not sure how glade 2 works around the combobox's intrusive 
popup window but we apperently should be able to do the same).
