Thanks for this. That seems to work. Now I am looking for the Gtk3
equivalent of $context->get_targets as per:

    $self->signal_connect(
        drag_drop => sub {
            my ( $tree, $context, $x, $y, $when ) = @_;
            if ( my $targ = $context->get_targets ) {
                $tree->drag_get_data( $context, $targ, $when );
                return TRUE;
            }
            return FALSE;
        }
    );

I've tried variations on Gtk3::drag_dest_get_target_list() but I can't
find the right one.

Any ideas?
