Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
you used to be able to drop files/folders on launcher icons to invoke
the application with them as parameters, this no longer works in natty;
it adds a launcher instead
related, and as equally, excruciatingly annoying, dragging over a
taskbar button will not bring that app to the foreground for a drop
anymore, and if you drop it on top of the switcher it creates a launcher
to the right of it.
i can understand why this might be desirable, but i've used launchers in
this manner, and dropping on apps for as long as i've used gnome ...
