OK, now seriously.
As I've wrote, I tried looking into this myself. This is FAR from trivial. Nautilus source isn't the cleanest code on earth, especially that DnD part. There exists and old patch to add XdndDirectSave to nautilus, but it's just too old, and doesn't work at all (not sure if it ever did). So I am not surprised no one managed to fix this in the last GNOME release cycle, Sure Canonical could hire a developer to fix this problem, but their resources are limited too I guess.

So, in short, this is the case where UBUNTU/GNOME NEEDS YOUR HELP!

What I don't like about Ubuntu developers though, this bug is marked as 'Medium' importance. This is ridiculous. It actually is critical, I can imagine people trying to drag-n-drop files from archive and shouting WTF?!
