What version of GTK+ are you using?  For the Windows platform, DND was 
quite seriously broken between v2.20 and v2.24 but the problem got fixed 
around Sept 2011 (both for gtk+2 and gtk+3 AFAIK).

Also, you mentioned that your problem exists when using Kaspersky, 
Tuneup Utilities or Camtasia.  Does the problem go away if you run your 
app on a system that doesn't use those products?
