Description Ziga Kranjec 2007-09-22 20:08:19 UTC 
This should uncompress dragged items onto desktop.
Icon should be placed where dropped.

Comment 1 Lucas Lommer 2008-10-05 10:15:38 UTC 
Uncompressing by drag&drop works fine with my 2.22.3.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2009-08-04 22:37:35 UTC 
Ziga, is this still an issue in 2.24 or 2.26?

This issue is still present. Bug is in get_xds_atom_value() function. Function gdk_property_get() returns actual length of the returned data, but this length is ignored. So, this value can contain garbage after end of the data. Patch fixing this problem (against 2.32 version) is attached.
