Comment 1 for bug 28435

Agreed. Recently posted about it in the Ubuntu forums, here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=659387

Both on that mailing list and in the forums, there's a suggestion that one could adjust the drag treshold. Not confirmed that it helps yet, but if so, maybe the default upon install should be set to a higher value from the start. It's very annoying and doesn't give a very good impression of the distribution.
