Bug Description
1. Drag and drop the link to "Home" from the Places menu onto the desktop.
2. Attempt to drag a file into the resulting link to the home folder.
This fails (I think) because of bug #3337.
What should happen, I think, is that when I drag and drop the Home folder from the places menu onto the desktop, nautilus should set the gconf key /apps/nautilus/
Given that that gconf key is not very obvious for the user, it might be quite common for a user to try dragging and dropping the link from the Places menu in this way, and it should work.
