Bug update:

The bugzilla item has been closed, the problem should be solved, I 
suppose, with the next release of GTK. Text below.

        Bug 573067 - Intra-app dnd of text behavior on Windows is wrong

        * gdk/win32/gdkdnd-win32.c (local_send_motion) (gdk_drag_motion):
        The default action should be move, not copy. Tweak how the
        GdkDragAction fields in GdkDragContexts are changed. Seems to help
        the problem.
