I don't really understand the issue here, but I'm not following this
thread in depth. I can imagine that treeview-row dragging by default
might not be appropriate because there might not be any default drop
operation that's appropriate. I mean, copying a row has different
meanings for different trees.

Anyway, GTK+'s bugzilla is probably the best place if you can explain
the problem concisely. Thanks.

As always, improved examples are welcome in gtkmm.
