why don't you use the "button_press_event" and change the drag icon here??

yes all is in the event parameter of your button press event handler, have a
look at GdkEvent union in gdk/gdktypes.h
then i think you can get key state with a GdkEventKey *evk=(GdkEventKey *)
event;
the GdkEventKey struct is in gdk/gdktypes.h too .

hope it helps
