Can I leave that to you then, Dieter?  It sounds like you're a bit more experienced in that area than I am.

It might be worth my while to apply them soon then, since I've found a problem with reverting that patch.  After testing more extensively, the only issue I've found is when I have two top-level GTK windows (physically separated on the screen) such as a main window and child dialog.  If I try to drag something from one window to the other, the drag cursor doesn't "travel" between the two windows.  It stops at the edge of the first GTK window and then resumes when my mouse pointer enters the second window.  This worked a lot smoother with the original 2.20 code.  I think there's a longer term solution needed to fix the new code, rather than reverting to the old code. unless Peter's changes can help?
