drag-and-drop

[Colin Clark <cclark mcb net>]

Hi

No problems this time, just a question.

The function I'm working on is to allow a user to drag a non-geocoded 
photo thumbnail onto a champlain map, pick up the lat/lon coordinates of 
the drop and geocode them into the exif of the file.

Because the drop event only gives me x/y, the only way I can see to 
achieve this is:

1. pick up the x/y from the drop event
2. create a new clutter_event, and load the x/y into it
3. call champlain_view_get_coords_from_event() with the created event as 
a parameter

This is a bit convoluted, but seems to work perfectly well, so I'm 
pretty happy.

But is there a better way? Would a champlain_view_get_coords_from_x_y() 
be useful in other circumstances also?
