I don't understand how that is different than what we have already:
http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/docs/tutorial/html/ch15.html#id2887711
( Note that the drag and drop API is slightly more C++-like in gtkmm 2.4.)

Are you saying that you would like to make a widget a drag target by doing
this
Class MyWidget
: public Gtk::TreeView,
  public Gtk::DragTargetText,
  public Gtk::DragTargetSomethingElse
?
