Re: Drag and Drop Selection Content

[Micah Carrick <email micahcarrick com>]

Here's how I understand it...

In the "drag-data-get" callback I call 'g_array_free(tracks, FALSE) ' to 
free the struct but not it's data since gtk_selection_data_set() is 
going to copy it.

In the "drag-data-recieved" callback I call g_free() on the data, but do 
NOT call g_array_free as that is already going to be freed after the 
drag-drop is completed.

Sound right?
