Public bug reported:
Bob has defined the <Super>D shortcut to un/cover desktop. He is trying to use
it in a similar way as he used to work on Mac OSX. Ie. he has some files
(pictures, etc. ) on the desktop, while working in Open Office Writer. The
Writer window covers the whole desktop, so Bob tries to:
1. show the desktop using Super D
2. drag the picture from the desktop
3. return the Writer window using Super D again while still dragging the
picture
4. Drop the picture to the Writer window at desired position
Unfortunately on Ubuntu step #3 does not work. This applies both to
compiz (when using Show Desktop plugin) and to metacity without desktop
effects.
Alice uses a similar approach, while she also have defined extra mouse
button (8) for un/covering desktop. Step #3 cannot be proceeded in this
case as well.
