I have installed xfdesktop 4.11.8 and the problem is resolved. ie. Drag from file manager now works correctly with copy, move & link.
The last inconsistancy is resolved with the Thunar patch by Thaddaeus Tintenfisch (attachment 5981). ie. Drag from desktop to file manager is corrected to a move operation. These are two separate bugs from two separate packages, xfdesktop 4.10 and below and Thunar without Thaddaeus's patch. As the xfdesktop issue is resolved in 4.11.8, The only thing remaining is for Thaddaeus Tintenfisch patch (attachment 5981) to be submitted & included in Thunar. Just to help anyone (With debian systems) the packages installed were: Remove: libxfce4ui-1-dev Install: xfce-keyboard-shortcuts_4.11.1-2_all.deb libxfce4ui-1-0_4.11.1-2_i386.deb libxfce4ui-common_4.11.1-2_all.deb libxfce4ui-utils_4.11.1-2_i386.deb xfdesktop4-data_4.11.8-1_all.deb xfdesktop4_4.11.8-1_i386.deb Note: libxfce4ui-utils was probably not required, But I included it anyway.
