Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-do

Using Jaunty Beta, while Gnome-Do is in "Docky" theme with auto-hide off:

Nothing happens when dragging a file to the bottom corner of the desktop. The icon remains on the desktop or in the nautilus window where it started. Repositioning and moving into a folder (like the trash) that's in that region of the screen wont' work.

OK, after playing around a bit more, I've realized the problem is not with the trash. I've updated the description and summary.

To reproduce the bug,
Install Gnome-Do
Set theme to "Docky"
Make sure auto-hide on the Gnome-Do dock is off
Try dragging any file or folder from anywhere in Nautilus into the bottom region of the screen (about a quarter of the way up from the bottom of the screen)

I can't move anything into that area, which is why I couldn't put things into the trash. Dragging doesn't work onto the desktop or into any other folder, as long as it's within that region of the screen.

I suppose this is a big with gnome-do rather than nautilus, and the package hint should be changed to reflect that.

Just like to report that gnome-do exhibits the same symptoms when docky is placed at the top of the screen.

This is fixed upstream, if ubuntu would like me to make a backport patch I can do that
