Excellent suggestion!  I'll try the updated PPA later.

Thunar got better in version 4.8, but I still don't use it. I use PCmanFM.

With both XFCE 4.6 and 4.8 I could not duplicate the problem. I created a
folder in Thunar off of the desktop. Dragging some other file to the desktop
folder within Thunar worked. Dragging the file directly from the desktop into
the new folder I created in Thunar worked.

I then did the same using a VNC connection to another machine (which also ran
XFCE). It ran as expected.

Ubuntu uses version XFCE 4.6 by default. The distributions running 4.6 were
Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu Lucid. If XFCE acts flakey, what some people do is
delete the content of the ~/.cache/sessions directory. That helped me in one
instance.

If you want to try 4.8, you can add this to your sources.list file:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexx2000/xfce/ubuntu lucid main
