There's a candidate patch in the upstream bug, and the GNOME/GTK+ developers seem slow to review and apply it.

This is highly visible and renders Ubuntu an unusable OS if you rely on remote administering GTK+ apps that require drag-and-drop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/587856 Title: GNOME Drag & Drop broken for remote X sessions Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: New Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Reproducible as follows: 1.
