Can't move icons to other screen in KDE

Bug Description

In KDE (on Dapper Beta 2 after several apt-get upgrades), on a two-monitor setup, I can drag desktop icons to the other screen, but they get automatically moved back to the screen they started on when I release the mouse. This only happens when "Line up icons" is enabled.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure "Line up icons" is enabled.
2. Drag a desktop icon to another monitor.
3. Release the mouse.

Is this still an issue? If possible, could you also see if this is an issue with the folderview applet in Intrepid?

I assume the report is about the Desktop ... so it is most certainly fixed on Intrepid - There are no individual desktop icons anymore but rather a plasmoid showing the Desktop directory (or any other) and positioning works like a charm.
