Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
While using wnck-applet 2.32.1 in Natty, there are some missing features in the window list that were available in Maverick:
1. The buttons for windows in the window list can no longer be rearranged using drag and drop. As the order of the buttons on the window list is quite arbitrary (determined by launch time) having the ability to reorder the buttons in a way that makes spatial sense (for example - by desktop) is an important feature - that no longer works in Natty. (for reference, the original behavior was introduced by the fix to this GNOME bug: https:/
2. The buttons for windows in the window list no longer respond for dragging things on top of them by activating the corresponding window. This is a very useful feature that was introduced in GNOME 2 (after being broken by the initial GNOME 2 release) by fixing GNOME bug https:/
Note - this issue relates to the "Ubuntu Classical Desktop" - I'm pretty sure its not relevant to the new default Unity desktop.
