s/1.x.x/1.0.x/. The DND API has been completely replaced in the 1.1.x
development branch.

For the 1.1.x DND API, see gtk/testdnd.c and:

 http://www.labs.redhat.com/~otaylor/dnd-api.txt

The new API is much nicer and more powerful to use (IMHO), and the new
code supports the Xdnd and Motif protocols.  Converting from one to
the other isn't all that difficult in general.
