Take a look at
http://virtualex.linuxoid.net/2009/08/18/glade-catalog-tutorial/
It uses a custom clock widget as an example. You can drag the minute arm
in the clock widget, so it should get you some idea how drag and drop
works. Note though, that the clock arm is not a separate widget. If you
to make it a separate widget, you'd need to derive the main widget from
GtkContainer instead of GtkDrawingArea, but the logic is similar.
