Notes
  1. When receiving an image (by calling drop-object-get-object with the :image format), the received image should also be freed when you finish with it. However, it will be freed automatically when the pane supplied to drop-object-get-object is destroyed, so normally you do not need to free it explicitly.
  2. drop-object-get-object should only be called within a drop-callback , passing the drop-object and pane arguments. It is not supported on X11/Motif. See simple-pane for information about drop callbacks.
