#456 Drag-and-drop with Gorm doesn't work in Fluxbox

[meowsqueak]

Gorm.app is a GNUstep application for building user
interfaces. It involves dragging and dropping GUI
elements such as buttons, text boxes, etc onto a panel
or window and thus build up a user interface (similar
to Visual C++, etc).

When running fluxbox-0.9.12-gentoo-r1 this drag-n-drop
behaviour is broken. Selecting a UI element and
click-hold-drag works, but when the element is released
onto the window or panel, it 'floats' or 'slides' back
to it's original place and does not affix to the target.

I have tested this on two systems, both running
fluxbox, and both exhibit the *correct* behaviour with
other window managers such as WindowMaker. Fluxbox
appears to be broken for this feature.

where do you drop the things? on what visual parts of the
screen?

You drop the GUI components (buttons, checkboxes, etc) onto
other components, for example a blank window, or a blank
dialog panel. It's a GUI builder like those you see in C++
Builder, VisualC++, etc.

So, for example, you start a new Gorm project and choose a
window - a nice blank grey window appears on the screen. You
click on a button in the palette and click-drag it over to
the new blank window, and drop it wherever you want it to
appear in the final application. Unfortunately with fluxbox
the drop doesn't work, the button just returns to the
palette. If I switch the window manager over to WMaker it
works fine.
