Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Dragging a file icon past / over a .desktop file that points to a remote
URL is slow.

To reproduce:
1. Create an empty text file on the desktop.
2. Drag and drop a tab from Firefox onto the desktop to create a link.
3. Drag the file created in step 1 over (past) that link.

Expected result: The drag + drop icon tracks the mouse smoothly.

Actual result: The drag + drop icon gets stuck momentarily, moving with
a reduced frame rate compared to the mouse cursor.

The effect is less obvious when dragging past a low-latency link (E.G.
one that points to http://localhost).

If you drag your cursor away from the link icon and release the mouse
button before the DND icon has caught up, nautilus tries to copy the
dragged file into the link. An error is displayed: "The destination is
not a folder." Perhaps this is a separate bug. Expected result: the file
should be dropped at the mouse cursor; not where the DND icon is.

Versions:
Ubuntu: 8.04
nautilus: 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu3
xorg: 1:7.3+10ubuntu9
xorg-driver-fglrx: 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.12-16.34
