My C knowlegde isn't the best, but I'll give it a try.

I've read this one and the pygtk documentation and samples about DnD.

http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/sec-DNDMethods.html

The one spesific thing I'm struggeling with is what is which widget
will be the destination widget in Meld when they are using both Glade
and constructing the UI with Python code. Will one the of the Glade
"generated objects" at runtime be the destination widget or will any
of the objects constructed in Python code serve as the destination.
