[Bug 587856] Re: GNOME Drag & Drop broken for remote X sessions in Lucid

 

Hi,

just wanted to ask, whether there is any progress in fixing this
problem... being able to drag and drop would make some tasks so much
quicker... sure you can always use mc on the shell for file management,
but when having a working desktop?

I experience the bug with lxde-openbox (thus also gtk2) running on a
vncserver on ubuntu 11.04

  3. Install tightvncserver
  4. Start a VNC session as a user (i.e. vncserver).
