OK, so we're getting the same results.
Okay, you are moving icons around on the desktop but not actually moving files to different directories. That's where I was getting confused. :) XFCE didn't even have the concept of "a desktop" with icons until the latest release, IIRC... its lack of a desktop was always one of its somewhat unique characteristics, but with the latest release it's become more of a full-featured desktop environment. So that aspect of it is probably not very mature yet. I would expect the finer touches such as moving multiple icons to come along in future versions.
