Any ideas on this? I can drag text in the app itself to the app 
but I can't drag outside of the app, e.g., a file from windows 
explorer.

This is the code:

	TargetEntry te = new TargetEntry("audio", 
GtkTargetFlags.OTHER_APP, 0);
	TargetList lst = new TargetList([]);
	lst.addImageTargets(1, false);
	lst.addTextTargets(0);

	// Add drag and drop for audio files

	w.dragDestSet(GtkDestDefaults.ALL, null, GdkDragAction.COPY);
	w.dragDestSetTargetList(lst);
	w.addOnDragDataReceived((dragContext, x, y, selectionData, info, 
time, widget)
														  {
															// TODO: Add drag and drop
															writeln("ok2");
														  });

ok2 is printed only when I drag from inside the app to inside the 
app(works with text, not sure if anything else as I didn't try 
it) but can't seem to get anything from the outside to come in ;/ 
Give that OTHER_APP is set I'd expect at least text outside the 
app to be draggable in to it, but that is not the case(I get the 
'no sign' for that one, while for files I get the drag icon).
