Bug Description

unity 4.8.0-0ubuntu1

This release of unity fixed bug 815045 which was about drag and drop not working on launcher. Now the main problem is fixed as you can drag something from the desktop to the launcher and launcher behaves as it should.

But you can't drag anything from dash to launcher.

The actual problem is fixed things can be dragged but the other
problem i.e. you cannot drop anything into the launcher is probably a
side effect of the DND-enhancement branch. I cant close this bug it
seems as launchpad including many other websites are not opening for
right now.

The problem is that nux::GetWindow().GetDndData("text/uri-list") return a null string when something is dragged from the dash.
