Sometimes I experience parts of Unity/Compiz not working any more and
I have to do a compiz --replace. I do not always immediately notice
when that happens because it might be that I am working in a remote
session for a longer while until first noticing that some hotkeys or
mouse gestures are not working any more in my host.

Is it possible that in such situation also the D&D of links to the
desktop refuses to work?

Might be an explanation because not more people are affected, because
maybe they are not having the Unity/Compiz issue.
