Title:
  Week 40 - Dragging a launcher icon during program start sometimes
  leaves a ghost image and unity stops responding to mouse actions

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal with ppa:unity-team/ppa

  Issue: Dragging a launcher icon half over launcher and desktop during
  program start sometimes leaves a ghost image of the icon and unity
  stops responding to mouse actions in the presence of this ghost icon
  image.

  Additional info:- Starting the same program again removes the ghost
  image and unity starts responding normal again.

  Action:
  #. Click on Ubuntu Software Center or Gedit or any other program on the launcher.
  #. While it's starting drag the icon.
  #. Drag the icon half over the launcher and desktop.
  #. Wait for the program to start.
  #. Repeat the above steps a few times
  #. observe that a ghost icon image is created and its stuck near the launcher as shown in screenshot.
