As the attached test case shows, this problem is fixed by calling
gtk_drag_dest_set() with 0 instead of GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL (0 causes the
targets array to be ignored too, but just passing NULL for the targets
doesn't change the behaviour.)
Does this make any sense? What is the meaning of 0 for the flags? I
can't guess that from the documentation:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk-Drag-and-Drop.html#gtk-drag-dest-set
