Drag and drop across instances of an application

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

Hi,

I have an app (below) which has two windows, each window is an instance
of
the same class. These are set for drag and drop between them
and everything works fine.

But I want to run 2 instances of the application and drag between
the two applications, and it doesn’t work. The drag isn’t accepted.
I replace the Gtk::Drag::TARGET_SAME_APP value with 0, but it has
no effect.

Is is possible to acheive this? If so, what am I missing?

Also (I’ve just noticed) “got a drop!” is printed twice for each drop?
Could
someone please tell me why? Again, I probably missed something out.

I am running ruby 1.8.5, gtk 2.8.18 , ruby-gnome2.0 14 1 (getting old,
but I
had a few problems when trying to upgrade), all on windows xp pro.

Thanks very much,
Martin.
