Drag-n-drop for dummies

[January Weiner 3 <jweiner1 ix urz uni-heidelberg de>]

Hello,

        I started reading about drag-n-drop... oh my. This is just too much
        for my little brain. I just want a simple thing: I have a text
        area, and I want the user to be able to drop just any text file
        into that widget. As simple as that. Where should I start? Does
        anybody have a code snippet I could use? Or is there some
        "Drag-n-drop for dummies" document somewhere available? Just give
        me a hook, I will handle it. The gtk documentation, however, I do
        not understand.

        Next, an even more naive question. I do not use GNOME. I do not use
        KDE. I use icewm. How can I try out whether my d-n-d works? :-)

        Best regards,
        j.
