I've tested the drag'n drop of several of my desktop links from the 
desktop to gnome-panel-2.0.2-4mdk.

I'v got the following errors :

1- with the "Home" desktop link : on drop on the panel, I've got the 
launcher creation dialog, with "No Name" in the name field,  
"application" as type, the filepath of the desktop launcher in the 
"command field, and no icon. If I just leave the fields as they are, 
the panel cannot launch the launcher.
What I espected instead should have been just a duplicate of the 
desktop link, with an "Url" type, the url and the home icon, to be 
opened by nautilus. If I choose an "Url" type, galeon is launched... I 
should choose an "application" type with "nautilus ~ " in the command 
field to have the launcher run right. Conclusion : the "home" desktop 
link type isn't well handled by the panel.

2- I've created a "Racine" desktop link, which is an url link to "file 
:///" (I like to have all my disk on the desktop like in Macos).
On drop on gnome-panel, it is just copied the right way, with the right 
fields. But it launches galeon. Why not nautilus ?

3- I've created  a "Preferences" url link on the desktop, with url : 
"preferences://". The drag'n drop on the panel works as expected : it 
dupplicates the launcher on the gnome-panel and the duplicated launcher 
launchees the desktop preferences in nautilus.

4- the drag'n drop of the "Start-Here" desktop link works as expected.

PS : in the right clic menu of nautilus on the "Home" link, the "Edit 
launcher" entry should be desactivated because the launcher cannot be 
edited.
