Actually, I just dragged a file onto the test widget in 
the "dnd" sample and it does work, so if GNOME and
therefore GTK has switched to "x-special/gnome-copied-files",
then we'd have to know which version of GTK+ would be
affected. Additionally, we can now also check if KDE
is running and they might be using something else again.

Or do you mean clipboard pasting of files? I wonder
where that is used outside of file managers, but
having work wouldn't hurt.
