Hi, I want to realize drag-drop events on iconview. I run application  
two times and two same widget open. I want to drop a icon from one to  
other. drag-drop and drag-data-get signals run but I couldn’t drop the  
icon.

drag-drop and drag-data-get signals return some variables I get, but I  
coulnd’t get which icon dragged and dropped through signals. I can get  
iconview variable through the signals, so I dont get which icon dragged  
or dropped.

Can you help me? How can I run drag-drop events?

Thanks.
