I'm only able to take a brief look at this... is there support for
"drag_enter" and "drag_leave" signals? It's fairly important (IMO) to make
the usual widgets support visual indication of being drop-receptive.
(If you've not seen the Mac, it works like this: when you drag something
that can receive it, an aqua ring shows up inside the border of the
target, instead of the cursor changing to an "X", or somesuch.)
