The drop_uris signal allows plugins to intercept the default drag-and-drop behaviour of 'text/uri-list'.
View handles drag-and-drop in the default handlers of drag_drop, drag_motion and drag_data_received. The view emits the drop_uris signal from drag_data_received if valid URIs have been dropped. Plugins should connect to drag_motion, drag_drop and drag_data_received to change this default behaviour. They should NOT use this signal because this will not prevent gedit from loading the URI.
