I tried that patch with cvs, but sadly, it made no difference.  For
some reason I'm having more trouble getting 2.0.7 to compile, plus the
patch doesn't apply cleanly, so I haven't tried that yet.

I do find it odd that the only thing that's breaking my gtk/gnet apps
is moving one of the app's windows.  Other dragging/clicking/typing
input is fine.  That makes me think that gtk's handling of dragging
windows could be to blame...
