19  * @brief Drag multiple rows of a GtkTreeView
20  *
21  * Normally when you start a drag, GtkTreeView sets the selection to just row
22  * you dragged from (because it can't cope with dragging more than one row at a
23  * time).
24  *
25  * Disobedience needs more.  To implement this it intercepts button-press-event
26  * and button-release event and for clicks that might be the start of drags,
27  * suppresses changes to the selection.  A consequence of this is that it needs
28  * to intercept button-release-event too, to restore the effect of the click,
29  * if it turns out not to be drag after all.
30  *
31  * The location of the initial click is stored in object data called @c
32  * multidrag-where.
33  *
34  * Inspired by similar code in <a
35  * href="http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/">Quodlibet</a> (another software
36  * jukebox, albeit as far as I can see a single-user one).
