Public bug reported:
i split bug 235045 in two parts, one being:
in hardy, if you drag the "Desktop" entry from the "Places" menu and drop it to
your Desktop nasty things happen. nautilus happily starts to copy files without
caring for endless recursion too much. this leads either to:
- loads of junk on your desktop until disk is full (if loads of data on desktop)
- an amazingly long error dialog saying that dir "Desktop" could not be
created, plus your desktop as a fractal repeating itself over and over again
until max. filename length is reached (if no/few data on desktop)
expected behavior: ask me what I really want to do, offering senseful
things like "link here/create launcher" or "copy here (avoid recursion)"
or "oops... nothing, really"
