Hmm, of course I have read that. It doesn't answer my questions and it 
only comes up with an example which leaves even more questions open (I 
referred to that in my last post!).

This I haven't read already.
It looks far more complete, so I'll give it a try today. I'll come back 
if any questions remain open :)

Hm yes, I may give those a shot. May be tough though, when you don't 
know what the program is supposed to do. I also read through the dnd 
example in the example folder on the gtkmm website, but without 
explanation it's sometimes hard to figure out what the author meant with 
his code.
