** Description changed: Binary package hint: unity When a launcher icon is dragged out, it generates lots of disk write activity TEST CASE: 0. Preliminary step: - 0.1 - Install the package sysstat - 0.2 - From a terminal run the command: iostat -d1 + 0.1 - Install the package sysstat + 0.2 - From a terminal run the command: iostat -d1 1. Roll over the launcher 2. Select an icon and hold the left mouse button to start a drag 3. move the icon around Result: See the amount of data written to disk increases significantly.
