I can't grab it or move it, it seems to let some events pass through to nautilus in the background, like if the xterm is over a file or a folder, even if it does do anything when i click on it, i can drag "something" and if i drop it in.. say a gnome term, i get its filename. As i use xterms instead of gnome terminals (faster & lighter), unity is totally unusable for me at the moment. It's totally reproducible here.
