The problem persists.
Upstream GNOME/GTK developers are not responding for almost a year now although a the code has been isolated.
KDE applications do well with drag and drop.

This is annoying.
Is there any workaround  (besides using x11vnc as a server?)

Also Mr. Fulton should check his mailer.

Bug description:
  Reproducible as follows:

  1. Clean install of Lucid LTS
  2. Apply latest updates (aptitude update && aptitude upgrade)
  3. Install tightvncserver
  4. Start a VNC session as a user (i.e. vncserver).
  5. Connect to the session using a VNC client.
  6. Create two folders on the GNOME desktop (e.g. "untitled folder" and "untitled folder 2")
  7. Attempt to click & drag one of the folders into the other - the operation will fail.
