[PD] drag and drop tcl plug in not working in Fedora

[José Rafael Subía Valdez]

a little update! it seems that I do have a response from PD when I drag the
file on top of the window,and the mouse touches the window limits, (not the
white part of the "canvas"). Now I do get an "Application Error" pop-up
window and the message is:

bad window path name ""
bad window path name ""
    while executing
"winfo toplevel $win"
    (procedure "FindWindowWithCommonTypes" line 2)
    invoked from within
"FindWindowWithCommonTypes $drop_target $_typelist"
    (procedure "::tkdnd::generic::HandlePosition" line 32)
    invoked from within
"::tkdnd::generic::HandlePosition $drop_target $drag_source  $_pressedkeys
$rootX $rootY"
    (procedure "tkdnd::xdnd::HandleXdndPosition" line 5)
    invoked from within
"tkdnd::xdnd::HandleXdndPosition {} 557 94 2097167"
