Using unity 3.2.16 in natty doing a dnd over an empty spot of the launcher leads to make the icons stack be shifted on the bar which doesn't make sense...

I cannot confirm this, Seb. If I try to drag any icon from the desktop to an empty area on the launcher nothing happens. The dragged icon just flings back to its position on the desktop.

Seb, I'm marking this as "Invalid" for the moment. Like with the LibreOffice bug you reported today, which I could not reproduce, I'm guessing something else is screwed up with your machine. Feel free to reopen it, when others come in being able to verify it.

No, I think DND on the empty space should move the launcher. Think of
the touch scenario, people might well want to drag on the launcher where
they don't feel they could accidentally click.

not sure to understand what you mean? what is the point to have a row of icons nowhere close of where your finger is to just go up and down without any possibility to do something from it?
