Lars,
There was a bug in drag and drop handling which was recently fixed in
DBModeler. You may want to update everything.
Also... there are some issues presently with using GNUstep on GNOME
since there are some issues with it's window manager. I don't know if
this is due to non-compliance with the free-desktop standards on their
end or something with GNUstep itself... this needs to be worked on.
If you plan on demoing GNUstep you should do it on WindowMaker with
the latest from SVN.

*Subject:* DBModeler to Gorm drag&drop problem
Hi,
I am currently in the process of preparing a live-demo of DBModeler,
Gorm and ProjectCenter for FOSDEM similar to what Matt Rice did in his
videos.
For that purpose I installed Ubuntu 8.10 inside a SUN VirtualBox VM.
My aim doing so is to show how easy it is to start developing with
GNUstep. For the same reason I got GNUstep and the dev-tools installed
by the services that Ubuntu provides. As you might know this is not
the latest and greatest of GNUstep but it works (somewhat).
One of the things that don't work seems to be drag and drop from
DBModeler to Gorm. I think I got everything needed installed and
activated: DBModeler, Gorm, the GDL2.palette. When I drag an entity or
an relation from DBModeler into the instances-window (is it called
that way?) of Gorm the mouse cursor changes to a small forbidden-sign.
When I now try to drop the entity or relationship snaps back into its
place in the DBModeler Window. I tried several modifier keys: shift,
control, alt (causes the whole window to move), command (shows the
menu at the mouse position), nothing worked so far.
Am I missing something?
What could be the cause for this? Incompatible versions of DBModeler,
Gorm and the GDL2.palette (I got some funky version 0.0.0(alpha) of
DBModeler of 2006 (or was the info panel not updated), version 1.2.2
(Release) of Gorm of 5th of November 2007 and an unknown version of
the GDL2.palette (how do I find out the version here?))?
Is it maybe Gnome which interferes with GNUstep here? I also tried
Window Maker what didn't help the cause a bit. What else could I try?
And my final question: Is there alternative way of getting the GDL2
stuff from DBModeler inside Gorm? Otherwise this would possibly bust
my talk since I don't have that much time left to track down that issue.
Thanks,
Lars
