Comment 47 for bug 346964

The Places bug in 8.10 is a different nautilus bug. It is documented in launchpad bug 282806, referenced above. My guess is that bug also covers the drag&drop problem.

I'm not sure about the shutdown or properties bugs. I don't know how those are launched.

I agree that things for dual-screen users seem to be getting worse, not better. I suspect XRandR and to a lesser extent Xinerama are responsible for this breakage.
