I used the code in gtk+-1.2.x/gtk/testinput.c as a guide when I added
this to my app.

In my (limited) experience, it's only useful if you're doing something
very heavy during a drag, or over particularly slow X connections. 

I have a gtk+ front end to a functional programming language doing
rubberband selects and paints :-) so it helped me a lot.
