Guess there's no way to withdraw a comment. This is an old bug present in perhaps every X toolkit and window manager. Fixing it requires fixing both of those and perhaps the applications, depending on how the toolkit is fixed. There is at present either not the knowledge or not the will to make

This bug is not a duplicate of a similar bug in either compiz or metacity. This is a bug in Nautilus. The solution of the problem the user sees requires changes to both regular applications and window managers. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 29560 drag drop improvement: delay

Zach is correct; this is not a duplicate of bug #29560. That bug is a filed against metacity, which is only one of the components contributing to the failure of Ubuntu to provide a smooth DnD experience. As written, the summary and report do not describe the commonly desired behavior for DnD.

I added comments on GNOME bugzilla, but I have more comments relevant to just Ubuntu. When this locks up, there is almost no way out for me. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace hasn't worked in a long time, so that's not an option. Ctrl+Alt+1 (or 2-6) works, but because of some other bug (NVIDIA, perhaps) the VT

I have this problem with at least GIMP, Metacity or Mutter, and Nautilus or Nautilus Elementary. When I first double-click an XCF file and GIMP is not running, then GIMP starts and its windows are raised and focused. If I then go to a folder and open another XCF file - with GIMP still running -
