Michael may be on to something. It didn't work while you were recording a screencast, but it did as soon as you stopped the screencast. Maybe your screencast program intercepts some mouse events. Of course I imagine you don't use the screencast software every day. So the question is: why doesn't it work these times? Well maybe it also installed a service always run in background? In any case, could you try this again: 1/ run the screencast program, check that dnd does not work. 2/ quit the screencast program, check that dnd works. If you can reproduce this every time, then there is probably a very good lead to follow there.
