Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-store

Drag-n-Dropping the screenshot thumbnail from USS to a Nautilus window tries to copy whole root directory there.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the USS, navigate to arbitrary application details
2. D-n-D the screenshot thumbnail to any Nautilus window, desktop will be fine
3. See how system tries to copy whole root directory (/) there (a LOT of files, you know)

Optional:

4. D-n-D the screenshot thumbnail to a Firefox window, you'll get a nice "file:///# page".
