Some clarification on what's happening.

Bug #1
When unmodified dragging a file from the file manager to the desktop, The drag 
modifier shows the file is being copied (Small '+' symbol) but the file is 
moved.
ie. The drag modifier incorrectly shows copy instead of nothing (move).

Bug #2
When copy dragging (ctrl held down) a file from the file manager to the 
desktop, The drag modifier shows the file is being copied (Small '+' symbol) 
but the file is moved.
ie. The copy operation is not carried out, The file is moved instead.

Inconsistancy #1
Unmodified dragging from the desktop to a file manager copies the file.
Unmodified dragging from a file manager to the desktop moves the file.
ie. What default used (Copy or Move) is irrelevent, The issue here is both the 
operations should be consistant in their action of either Copy or Move.

Long standing issue
These problems are a barnacle for the unaware user, The issue may seem 
innocuous but has a real possiblility of people loosing files because they 
assume (As indicated) a copy operation has been carried out when infact a move 
operation has occured.
