Do you mean a frame in the target window ? That is on purpose, to make it obvious which window is the drop target.
Please reopen if I'm mistaken.
No i mean the window where i drag from. and when i moove at the desktop it shows a framework around the whole desktop. and what do you mean with "reopen"? did you close the thread or fix the bug?
Well, yeah, there is a frame in the window you drag from, to indicate that this window is *also* the window you drag to when you begin the drag. If you move the icon over another window, the frame switches to that window. I'm still not sure this is a bug. It may be a good idea to remove the frame around the desktop, though.
Vincent: I think it would be a better idea to make this even more obvious. Denoting clearly that you drop something on the desktop or drag from the desktop is in my opinion a good idea.
Christian : you mean by alpha-coloring the window or something like that ? I agree with you and I think it is a big win for usability, but that would be even worse in the eyes of the reporter ;-)
sry, but i write a little oftopic post. only, because i dont know where to write this else. its possible to set gnome that its allowed to chance the windowsize with combination alt+mouse right like in fluxbox? it would be a big win in user-friendliness
