Drag an URL from mozilla location bar, drop on a Ruby program?

Is it possible to drag an URL from the mozilla location bar and drop it
on a Ruby program for further processing?

I am using XFree86, I can probably draw an empty window with RubyGTK or
something, but is it possible to process data that is dragged from
another application (like Mozilla)?

TIA,

Erik.

Here is a sample for Ruby/GTK2.

require ‘gtk2’

Gtk.init

label = Gtk::Label.new(“Drop Here”)
Gtk::Drag.dest_set(label, Gtk::Drag::DEST_DEFAULT_ALL,
[[“text/plain”, 0, 0]],
Gdk::DragContext::ACTION_COPY| Gdk::DragContext::ACTION_MOVE)

label.signal_connect(“drag_data_received”) do |w, context, x, y, data, info, time|
p data.data #You can get the URL from mozilla.
Gtk::Drag.finish(context, true, false, 0)
end

Gtk::Window.new.add(label).set_default_size(100, 100).show_all

Gtk.main
