NSGeneralPboard is the name of a pasteboard not a type of data you can
place on the pasteboard. It is the pasteboard instance you get back
when you use +[NSPasteboard generalPasteboard] (aka generalPasteboard
uses pasteboardWithName:NSGeneralPboard). Also since you appear to be
talking about dragging I believe you want the dragging paste board
which is named NSDragPboard.

Anyway have you read over the following?
