Thanks!

Not much, but I'll investigate. Fedora 7's bigger tent might make it easy.

Attached is my current hackery, that you might or might not want to 
include yet.

I'm trying to get drag-and-drop to work both ways,
by first cloning the gtk+2 test program testdnd in guile.
Your photo tool only had drop destinations, not drag sources.

With this patch,
   (gtk-drag-source-set widget)
definitely works; I can drag from a button.

But the complete exchange doesn't happen from the guile-gnome drag source; 
I don't get a drop-data-received signal on the drop widget.

And I gave up on pixmap creation with
gdk-pixmap-colormap-create-from-xpm-d, so that stuff mixed in might be 
totaly trash.

Every time I try to do somthing interesting, I find big dark corners of 
gtk+ that just aren't working yet in guile-gnome-platform/gtk.
I can't help but thing that there's a long way to go before "stable", but 
keep those great releases and improvements comming and we'll slowly get 
there!
