Bug description:
In some window managers (I believe KWin is one of them) the user is
able to initiate a drag-and-drop operation, then press alt-tab to
raise a window that will be the drop target, and only then release the
mouse button so that the drag-and-drop is performed. This is not
possible with Metacity, Beryl, Compiz or Xfwm. It is unclear to me
whether this is a limitation of the window manager or some other part
of the system.
------------------------------------------
Use Case:
Dragging movie/audio files from nautilus to totem.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open totem media player full screen
2. open nautilus full screen
3. browse to media files
4. select some media files (e.g. a movie file) and move it to start a drag
and drop operation
5. press Alt+Tab
Observations:
Nothing happens.
Expected Results:
Alt+Tab should allow the user to switch tasks and preserve the drag
state, so the user can drag files from one application to another.
Notes:
Drag and drop works if the applications are tiled to the left/right of
each other, or if they are windowed so it should work when they are
full screen.
