a while back i tried getting gnustep to work as a x
'dragging source' as we call it.. it still uses the
outdated xdnd code but attached is what i ended up
with and a dragging destination which also uses the
outdated xdnd code from gnustep..

the whole thing inside the case SelectionRequest:
needs to be rewritten doesnt do any of the conversion
it should (file uris should have file:// etc and other
conversion methods for other stuff...) 

i recall there being alot more to the patch than this
but this is all there seemed to be... so hopefully its
all here...

i also remember there being times when the code just
magically didnt work.. 

hope it helps, dont forsee finishing it anytime soon
if someone wants to pick it up...
