Thanks for testing :)

Yeah... Such feedback would be basically a responsibility of the compositor.
Weston doesn't do much here as you can see, and mutter/g-s doesn't even display
DnD icons yet... I would want to get to the latter and add the snapback
animation there.

Hmm, I'll investigate that... but yeah, there's basically a bunch of code in
gtkdnd.c we eventually want to not run on wayland, all the code to update the
DnD window position while the button is pressed is also useless there, although
harmless. There some useful bits there that could need rethinking, like pointer
cursor changes.

Right... see above.

Hmm, indeed, I also see some gdk warnings when trying to fetch the pointer
position, not sure how related to these patches though. I'll have a look
anyway.

Hmm, that's weird, I do get menu sensitivity updating properly, although I've
just observed that only the first paste works, as opposed to Ctrl-V.
