	#1  jlp2 15:11 Sep 09, 2013	Using the current FLTK 1.3.2 release, the Fl::event_text() function always returns the value "<unknown>" for the FL_DND_ENTER or FL_DND_DRAG event under X11, this is obviously by intention. I attached a .diff file that shows a small adaption I made to get the correct value earlier (before the FL_PASTE event is emitted). Since there a asynchronous X11 calls involved, the value may not be available in the FL_DND_ENTER event or the first few FL_DND_DRAG events (it is still "<unknown>" for these first few event occurrences). But I think this is still an improvement, because applications can react to DND events earlier. Maybe it would be nice, if the first occurrence of the FL_DND_ENTER event (and following occurrences of FL_DND_DRAG events) could be delayed until the event text value is known, but I don't know the code well enough to see how to accomplish this. But maybe someone who knows the code better could verify if this solution is correct or if there even is a better one.
	#2  jlp2 05:28 Oct 02, 2013	I had some issues with the patch (in some rare cases, the drag and drop action could not be finished, leaving both involved applications in the "dragged" state). I attached a new updated .diff file that does not cause this problem.
