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. "ø") 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.

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.
