Bug Description

When attempting to drag a folder or file from a file-roller window to a PCManFM window, I get a dialog box which says something to the effect of, "You don't have permissions to extract to " ". " The mouse pointer becomes stuck as a hand, and the system no longer registers mouse clicks. Alt-tab invokes the application switcher, but that also doesn't work.

This happens EVERY time I try this. It is 100% repeatable.

Currently using Lubuntu 12.04, which was installed from a Beta CD image but has been kept up to date. Please let me know if there are any additional logs or tests I can append.

If you switch to a terminal and kill file-roller or if you manage to alt-tab into a terminal (even tough it doesn't become the top window), then you can also kill file-roller. In both cases, your mouse will get back. At least that's what happens with me (I got here looking for more info on this bug).

Unfortunately, I don't have the know-how to switch to a terminal if one isn't already up, or the actual command to kill it.
