Title:
  unity gets stuck in 'expose' mode when you drag an icon over a
  launcher icon and hold it there

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have an image file or similar saved on the desktop.
  2. Open firefox then minimize it.
  3. Drag the image file from the desktop to the firefox icon on the launcher.
  4. Wait until you see the firefox window.
  5. Release the mouse button.

  The image file will open in the firefox window, but you will no longer
  be able to interact with windows using the mouse. At this point you
  have to alt-tab to a terminal (which won't initially be visible), then
  click in a *different* window. For some reason this gives focus to the
  terminal. Now 'unity --replace'.

  Steps to reproduce under Oneiric:

  1. Have an image file or similar saved on the desktop.
  2. Open firefox then minimize it.
  3. Drag the image file from the desktop to the firefox icon on the launcher and immediately release it - the image will load in firefox.
  4. Drag the image file from the desktop to the firefox icon on the launcher again, this time wait until you see the firefox window shrink down and the desktop darken.
  5. Release the mouse button.

  Impact: Users who aren't developers will probably have to power off
  the machine to recover from this bug.
