Christopher,

I submitted the information through apport like you asked. Since I'm not
familiar with this, and it took me some install steps, I hope all went
well.

I also realised that with my last message, I may have followed the wrong link, hence tested the wrong versions.
That is why I did the test I described in my last message again. The results are below are interesting.
You can find them in the csv I attached.

Since our i386 is single screen only, I was not able to test the dual
screen set up performance. The ones labeled "Production" are of course
our normal production machines, the installs that prompted us to file
the bug report.

Fed by some online reading, I'd think xfdesktop4 might be the culprit? But then again, I'm just a simple user. Just to be sure I noted the xfdesktop4 version numbers also for you.
I also saw that the icon rearranging bug has also been reported with xfdesktop4 4.12 (see Bug 1335492 and 1307251). I however have not been able to reproduce it, even after 10+ reboots.

Title:
  Unable to drop/ place files and links on second screen in dual screen
  set up

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After updating from Xubuntu 13.10 (amd64) to Xubuntu 14.04 LTS (amd64)
  I have encountered a bug with my dual screen set up.

  Running the XOrg screen driver (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau), it is
  possible to place/ drag and drop files and links on my left screen
  desktop. This is also the desktop that contains the system icons (e.g.
  removable drives, rubbish bin).

  However, I I try to drag and drop a file or link on the right screen
  desktop, it will not "stick" and "fly back" to its original location
  on the left screen. Additionally, I noticed that, when dragging the
  file over the troubled desktop, the "placement squares" don't show up.
  They do on the functioning left screen.

  Although I have a NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GTX 650] Geforce I
  do run the XOrg driver since it gives me the best results with the
  software I'm using frequently. However, when I tested this during my
  initial install of Trusty, I noticed that I did not encounter this bug
  with the proprietary NVidia 304.117 driver (331.38 did not work for me
  at all). Running the NVidia 304.117 driver, it was possible to drag
  and drop/ place files and links on both screen desktops. Also the
  "placement squares" appeared on both screens when a file was dragged
  over it.

  After returning to the XOrg driver, the problem reoccurred, and placement on the right screen was again not possible.
