As pointed out in [1], re-using a wl_data_source for multiple start_drag or
set_selection requests has bad consequences, because this object has events
that allo tracking the state of a selection/drag-and-drop operation. Tracking
two operations at the same time isn't possible with this interface.

This is an attempt to at least get this issue into the patchwork queue, so that
it's isn't completely lost in limbo. :)
