Thanks for the help, I'll check it out tonight!

But it seems strange to me that a simple GTK application would require
gnomevfs to be able to use it's drag and drop URI:s? Not that it
matters, I was planning on looking at gnomevfs anyway :-)

Thanks,
Christian

p.s. I am writing a C# music player and I will drop you an off list mail
later tonight.
