Bug Description
hannes@XFLR6 ~> lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
Scenario: I want to drag an item from application A and drop it into application B. The window(s) of application B is (are) minimized or on another desktop. (real life example: I want to drag a file from Nautilus into a Skype chat. This is an everyday use case for me).
What I expect to be happening (and what was happening in Natty): Upon hovering the launcher icon of application B and staying there for a moment, all the windows of application B are shown next to each other (as if I was clicking twice on the icon, which I can't do because I'm dragging an item). I can then hover a window to bring it to the front and drop my item.
What is happening in Oneiric: Upon hovering the icon of application B, nothing happens.
Manually aligning the source- and target-windows of the drag'n'drop process is very inconvenient.
