Title:
  Cannot drag a link from desktop to trash bin

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Usually files on the Desktop can be dragged to the trash to delete
  them. This doesn't work for links. They still can be deleted using the
  "Move to trash" entry in the context menu. However, the non-tech
  people I'm supporting with their Ubuntu machines seem to struggle with
  this, not being able to remove links from the desktop. They get
  especially confused by the fact that dragging to the trash works for
  some "files" but not for others.

  Steps to reproduce:
  * Drag a file attachment from an email in Thunderbird to the desktop. This will create the link on the desktop.
  * Now, drag the link from the desktop to the trash on the launcher => An error message pops up.
