Bug Description

I would like to see drag and drop support enabled in the (gnome) main menu;
1. in Places to throw files directly in a folder or drive.. (e.g. "Documents");
2. in Applications to open a file with a chosen application and also to move/insert launchers (I know about the edit menus, but drag&drop would be much more intuitive imo).
Also new users may expect this behavior if they come from e.g. winxp.

all versions of ubuntu known to me are affected.(i'm on karmic though)

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage , so I have classified this bug as a bug in gnome-menus package.
