Good news, everyone.

The bug is in fact located within pcmanfm (more precisely, within the GTK library part of, libfm-gtk1), and has been fixed by the author within the git repository of this project 9 days ago.

Since I have not read any further discussion about this bug any more and since I don't know the procedure in such cases, I simply attach a diff that fixed the bug on my computer. The patch needs to be applied against file "src/gtk/fm-dnd-dest.c" in the current source package of libfm-gtk1 of distribution Lubuntu 12.04. Whether the patch works against older versions of Lubuntu I don't know.

Could anyone please try it or let me know the official procedure of providing patches? Perhapse the Lubuntu team is already aware about the bug being fixed and this whole commit is obsolete ... ;-)

Best wishes,
