Bug 143217 – [GTK] DnD icon/widget has odd background

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Carlos Garnacho]

If you DnD anything, the DnD icon shows an odd background. During the weekend I found out that WebKitGtk is using gtk_drag_set_icon_widget(), but is not setting the passed GtkWindow widget as app-paintable, which forces background rendering that would be unintended here.

After some chatting with KaL on #gtk+, it seems like a better approach though is using gtk_drag_set_icon_surface():

  KaL     garnacho_: we should probably use gtk_drag_set_icon_surface
          I don't know why we use a widget for that, TBH
          since the drag icon is rendered into a cairo surface in webcore

Doing either would fix the odd background on DnD icons.

We can just remove DragIcon entirely, and use simply gtk_drag_set_icon_surface().

It's great that GTK+ improved the API here. Do you mind explaining a bit more here why this is no longer necessary for GTK+3? What changes allow us to work properly with composited window managers without a window?

GTK+ knows what to do with a cairo surface, I guess we migrated the gtk+2 code to gtk+3 without realizing that using the surface was enough.

Cool, do you mind just dropping something like that into the ChangeLog?
