Yup, this type of thing is on my todo list, but my lead time is 
around six weeks ATM, so it may take a while before it shows up 
on the blog.

Some of the ideas I have for DrawingArea tutorials:
- drag-n-drop (as you describe),
- nodes-n-noodles (as seen here: 
https://codepen.io/osublake/pen/4c3752574267b3a986cb8eee7ccb8c81), and (of course)
- drawing with the mouse.

My plan is to be as thorough as possible with coverage of each 
widget and to do them in more-or-less easiest to hardest order. 
Once the series on Dialog windows is finished, there's a whole 
raft of stuff on ListStore and TreeStore and how they interact 
with TreeView and ComboBox via TreeIter, TreeSelection, etc., 
etc. That's taking most of my time ATM.

Thanks for the comment, Alex. Have a great day.
