Comment 5 for bug 826059

IIRC, Oneiric Ocelot (11.10) has just disabled Drag & Drop for the unity bar... this does not mean that its been fixed, it just means that the bug won't happen because it was disabled.

Surely being able to Drag & Drop things into application icons should allow you to open them up with that application, this is a feature I'm sure many have gotten use to with any operating system. Alternatively, it should allow the application to bring focus to itself to allow you to drag to that application.
