Regarding other toolkits/clients: yes indeed. The first two patches in
this thread are required to implement drag-and-drop in Chromium (in
Ozone-Wayland). Currently I have implemented only drags into Chromium,
but it works only for drags from weston-dnd and only because weston-dnd 
chooses to leak its wl_data_source objects. Without Carlos's progress
notification patches, it is impossible for the source client to know
when to free the data, so the options are to leak the memory as weston-
dnd does, or free it and cancel the drag too soon, as GTK+ does.

It would be quite nice for these to be committed sooner rather than
later.
