Bug description:
Open a nautilus window and xmms. maximize natilus. Bring xmms on top
(activate it). Nautilus is now on the background, yet some files are
visible within it, because xmms does not cover it completely.
Now, a natural action is to drag a file to xmms playlist. This is not
possible because, as soon as you click the file in the nautilus
window, nautilus goes on top and (being maximized) hides xmms. So, the
only way to drag is to hover the tasklist and reactivate xmms.
IMHO, a much better way exists (the one employed by MS. Windows): the
nautilus window should go on top only when the mouse is _released_
(not when it is pressed). So a direct drag would be possible, without
resorting to the tasklist.
