yes, i know all that. if you consider that as just "DnD works from a
treeview to another widget", then i'm afraid i don't. the necessity to
go through quite a bit of object/data setup just to get the DnD to
work was the part i referred to as moderately complex. i wasn't
implying that you can't take those steps, but that they are hardly
friendly the level of GTK programming skill that often shows up asking
for help on this list.
