Summary: lexicon display window accpets illegal keys by drag&drop

Initial Comment:
I opened a lexicon (like StrongsGreek or Naves) and a bible. Then, I 
moved a bible key onto the lexicon by drag&drop. The lexicon accepted it 
(e.g. John 17:20) and shew a page with that heading but no contents.  
 
This is probably unintended as no such page is shown if you type in this 
key into the key chooser of a lexicon window. And, Bible display windows 
make their first key their current key if one drags&drops an illegal key on 
them (e.g. from a lexicon window). 
 
Perhaps it is possible to indicate by the pointer shape (e.g. "") if a key 
can be dropped into a particular display window or not? And if one drops 
an invalid key nonetheless, nothing would happen. This drag&drop 
behaviour is what users know from other applications, I think. 
 
This bug was experienced with BibleTime 1.5.1.

Eeli, can you implement this (can be later than 1.7)?

With the new d'n'd system this should be reasonably easy. When drag moves
the underlying widget accepts/rejects possible drop in an event handler.
It's couple of lines of code to check if the key is supported by the module
type, I think.

This will require bigger changes to the DND system, but is 
not so urgent--later.
