Sorry, Alex. I've only just spotted this thread. I think what's happening is that, when a drag-drop
is initiated, Windows runs in a mini-messageloop of its own, and when the drop event occurs,
you're still in that loop. I'm not sure how that will interract with whatever Windows messageloop 
Tkinter's running on your behalf. The normal thing would be to post some kind of message 
asynchronously, allowing your drop code to complete and the app's messageloop can then 
kick back in and see the message you posted. (waves hands about)
