rootwindow drag and drop problems

[Moe Aboulkheir <moe point45 com>]

Hey,

(i'm new here).  i've been troubled for a while with trying to get 
rootwindow drag and drop to work.  i have a minimal example below, 
written in python (i've tried the pygtk list, but nobody could help).  
it is not a language specific problem i dont think because the 
test_dnd.c rootwindow stuff doesn't work for me last time i checked.  i 
don't think its a problem with my window manager not exposing the 
rootwindow either (i am using windowmaker, but i've also unsucessfully 
tried on wmi) because gAIM's rootwindow DnD works fine, although 
grep'ing the source doesn't turn up any results for 
"x-rootwindow-drop".  __any__ help would be greatly appreciated, on with 
the show:

import gtk

ARBITRARY = 888
targets = [ ('application/x-rootwindow-drop', 0, ARBITRARY) ]

def onAsk( widget, context, selection, ttype, time ):
   print 'something asked for my data!!'

w = gtk.Window( gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL )
b = gtk.Button( "Drag Me Please!" )
b.connect( "drag_data_get", onAsk )
b.drag_source_set( gtk.gdk.BUTTON1_MASK, targets, gtk.gdk.ACTION_COPY )
w.add( b )
w.show_all()
gtk.main()
