Bug Description
One thing that I have noticed with the GNOME desktop that has been very
irritating is the drag and drop behavior. If I click on something and
quickly move the mouse, GNOME thinks that I would like to drag/drop it
somewhere. If i want to drag something, I'm going to hold the mouse
button down. If i'm single clicking and moving the mouse, I just want
to click on something and move on. So many times there is a document
icon by my mouse is Firefox and Thunderbird when I don't want it.

Agreed. Recently posted about it in the Ubuntu forums, here: http://
Both on that mailing list and in the forums, there's a suggestion that one could adjust the drag treshold. Not confirmed that it helps yet, but if so, maybe the default upon install should be set to a higher value from the start. It's very annoying and doesn't give a very good impression of the distribution.
