You can just make a GtkWindow object, put a GtkEntry object in it, and then 
drag to the entry object.

I suggest you look at the gtk_entry.c to see how it sets the target up, but as 
konqueror drags URLs as text/plain (if that is what you are interested in) 
you could just set the target to "STRING" (for "old" DND) and 
"text/plain" (for mime-based DND, which is what kde will use).

In fact any byte-stream can be dragged as text/plain but you will need to know 
how to interpret it at the receiving end if it is not in fact plain text.  
The main point is that the source mime type and the target mime type must 
match for the drag to successfully register itself.
