begin

Starts a drag and creates a new drag context for it.

This function is called by the drag source. After this call, you probably want to set up the drag icon using the surface returned by method@Gdk.Drag.get_drag_surface.

This function returns a reference to the class@Gdk.Drag object, but GTK keeps its own reference as well, as long as the DND operation is going on.

Note: if @actions include %GDK_ACTION_MOVE, you need to listen for the signal@Gdk.Drag::dnd-finished signal and delete the data at the source if method@Gdk.Drag.get_selected_action returns %GDK_ACTION_MOVE.
