Functions for controlling drag and drop handling

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
GTK+ has a rich set of functions for doing inter-process
communication via the drag-and-drop metaphor. GTK+
can do drag-and-drop (DND) via multiple protocols.
The currently supported protocols are the Xdnd and
Motif protocols.

As well as the functions listed here, applications
may need to use some facilities provided for
<link linkend="gtk-Selections">Selections</link>.
Also, the Drag and Drop API makes use of signals
in the #GtkWidget class.

<!-- ##### ENUM GtkDestDefaults ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkDestDefaults enumeration specifies the various
types of action that will be taken on behalf
of the user for a drag destination site.
</para>

@GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_MOTION: 
   If set for a widget, GTK+, during a drag over this
   widget will check if the drag matches this widget's
   list of possible targets and actions.
   GTK+ will then call gdk_drag_status() as appropriate.
@GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_HIGHLIGHT: 
   If set for a widget, GTK+ will draw a highlight on
   this widget as long as a drag is over this widget
   and the widget drag format and action are acceptable.
@GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP: 
   If set for a widget, when a drop occurs, GTK+ will
   will check if the drag matches this widget's
   list of possible targets and actions. If so, 
   GTK+ will call gtk_drag_get_data() on behalf 
   of the widget. Whether or not the drop is successful,
   GTK+ will call gtk_drag_finish(). If the action
   was a move, then if the drag was successful, then
   %TRUE will be passed for the @delete parameter
   to gtk_drag_finish().
@GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL: 
   If set, specifies that all default actions should
   be taken.

<!-- ##### ENUM GtkTargetFlags ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkTargetFlags enumeration is used to specify
constraints on an entry in a #GtkTargetTable. 
</para>

@GTK_TARGET_SAME_APP: 
   If this is set, the target will only be selected
   for drags within a single application.
@GTK_TARGET_SAME_WIDGET: 
   If this is set, the target will only be selected
   for drags within a single widget.
@GTK_TARGET_OTHER_APP: 
   If this is set, the target will not be selected
   for drags within a single application. Since 2.12
@GTK_TARGET_OTHER_WIDGET: 
   If this is set, the target will not be selected
   for drags withing a single widget. Since 2.12

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_drag_dest_set_proxy ##### -->
<para>
Sets this widget as a proxy for drops to another window.
</para>

@widget: a #GtkWidget
@proxy_window: the window to which to forward drag events
@protocol: the drag protocol which the @proxy_window accepts
           (You can use gdk_drag_get_protocol() to determine this)
@use_coordinates: If %TRUE, send the same coordinates to the
                  destination, because it is an embedded 
                  subwindow.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_drag_dest_unset ##### -->
<para>
Clears information about a drop destination set with
gtk_drag_dest_set(). The widget will no longer receive
notification of drags.
</para>

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_drag_finish ##### -->
<para>
Informs the drag source that the drop is finished, and
that the data of the drag will no longer be required.
</para>

@context: the drag context.
@success: a flag indicating whether the drop was successful
@del: a flag indicating whether the source should delete the
      original data. (This should be %TRUE for a move)
@time_: the timestamp from the "drag_data_drop" signal.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_drag_get_data ##### -->
<para>
Gets the data associated with a drag. When the data
is received or the retrieval fails, GTK+ will emit a 
"drag_data_received" signal. Failure of the retrieval
is indicated by the length field of the @selection_data
signal parameter being negative. However, when gtk_drag_get_data() 
is called implicitely because the %GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP was set, 
then the widget will not receive notification of failed
drops.
</para>

@widget: the widget that will receive the "drag_data_received"
 signal.
@context: the drag context
@target: the target (form of the data) to retrieve.
@time_: a timestamp for retrieving the data. This will
       generally be the time received in a "drag_data_motion"
       or "drag_data_drop" signal.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_drag_get_source_widget ##### -->

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_drag_highlight ##### -->
<para>
Draws a highlight around a widget. This will attach
handlers to  "expose_event" and "draw", so the highlight
will continue to be displayed until gtk_drag_unhighlight()
is called.
</para>

@widget: a widget to highlight


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_drag_unhighlight ##### -->
<para>
Removes a highlight set by gtk_drag_highlight() from
a widget.
</para>

@widget: a widget to remove the highlight from.
