Related to Bug 408054 at all?

file-roller does have a lot of broken drag/drop. I think the drag and drop facilities should be redone.

I opened a simple tar.gz file and was dragging some files over to an open nautilus window.

I just tried it again, and it happens when there is a file selected. Just passing the mouse over the file-roller window causes the drag and drop to start (a document is trailing on the mouse pointer).
