FWIW, this bug only seems to happen with non-square images. The second slide in the slideshow, for Firefox, uses a square PNG file -- and it doesn't crash if you drag it. The first slide, on the other hand ("welcome" and "f-spot") use rectangular images (taller than they are wide), and they crash.

Through some trial and error, I've found that I can make the first slide fine by editing its underlying PNG image in Gimp to make it square. Absolute size doesn't seem to matter -- 100x100 is fine, 237x237 is fine, but 100x237 up to 235x237 will crash.)

Also, FWIW -- evand has checked in the fix for bug 448703, so I assume this bug will be worked around in the next version of ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu. For the purposes of testing this bug here, use a version of ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu <= 0.8, the current version.
