Comment 5 for bug 153377

I guess this can be marked as "resolved", as the icon can no longer be dragged to a panel.

In Lucid, 10.04 LTS, a Network icon made to be visible on the Desktop (via $ gconf-editor
    apps -> nautilus -> desktop ) cannot be dragged to a panel. As described above, other icons added the same way, e.g., computer (computer_icon_visible), home (home_icon_visible) are draggable to the panel, but the icon added for network (network_icon_visible) is not draggable to the panel.
