When drag-droping application from menu to panel random application apperars

Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.
This is usual to close bug reports when nobody, including the original reporter is able to reproduce it.

Could you provide an example of what goes wrong?
* what menu entry you are dragging
* what menu entry is put in the panel instead
(if possible, a screenshot is even better).

easy to reproduce in this install, draging firefox from menu/internet to top panelm instead of firefox appears 4 launcher with empty icon "mail reader" i open proper of it and take screenshot

Edit pressed and another shot

always mail reader instead of firefox
another try got "setting manager" instead of "terminal"

but onece i got proper working first 3 launchers :)

open props for 2 launchers

try n 3
got "App finder" instead of terminal
got "ubuntu Software center" instead of terminal
got Abiword instead of firefox

Haha, ok, thanks for the details, I think I'm starting to understand: "mail reader", "settings manager", "app finder", "ubuntu software center" and "abiword" are all in the default xubuntu panel config.

I'll try to reproduce that.

Reproduced, this is indeed disturbing.

It turns out it is a default settings issue, we shouldn't ship our default config as xfce4-panel.xml but as default.xml.

This bug was fixed in the package xfce4-panel - 4.8.2-1ubuntu1

---------------
xfce4-panel (4.8.2-1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches:
    - xubuntu_support-multiple-vendor-default-configs.patch: search for the
      default.xml default config in XDG_CONFIG_DIRS as well, and do not
      display the chooser dialog in this case. lp: #747137
    - 0001-Tasklist-add-button-release-event-to-proxy-item-bug-.patch: taken
      from upstream git 'xfce-4.8' branch, fixes window switching with a
      drop down selector. lp: #743689
    - series: added.

This bug was fixed in the package xubuntu-default-settings - 11.04.17

---------------
xubuntu-default-settings (11.04.17) natty; urgency=low

  * Move etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/xfconf/…/xfce4-panel.xml to
    etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/panel/default.xml: this is the correct place
    to store the default settings, and avoid any weird issue when removing
    a panel. lp: #747137
  * Handle the move in the maintainer scripts as well.

Steve/Tom:
FYI, there was an issue in previous xubuntu-default-settings' versions.
You will need to move /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml to /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/panel/default.xml for linaro-default-settings (I just did it for xubuntu-default-settings). Otherwise, bad things (cf. this bug report) will happen if the user removes one panel or one plugin.
