Not evil. A bit /ad hoc/ maybe, but not evil. Now I at least
understand what you are referring to, and I think that it is a
fundamental flaw in the misc-user-event model.
OK, I just thought of a way to fix it: how about adding a
`current-misc-user-event' variable that will be set to the event
immediately prior to dispatching the callback function? This is still
sort of a kludge, but less so than hardcoding the event to dnd-data by
the C code.
What do you think? Ben, what do you think of this solution?
