Package: nautilus
Severity: normal
Version: 2.0.0
Synopsis: drag and drop error
Bugzilla-Product: nautilus
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
Description of Problem:

When dragging a postscript file from nautilus (icon view) to ggv I
recieved the error:

Cannot open file ///home/parrish/gtk%2Btheme-doc.ps

For some reason the "+" in the name of the file was translated to "%2B".
 Apparently having a "+" in the filename is valid for the operating
system and for nautilus to deal with... the problem only comes into play
when tring to drap and drop the icon.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open ggv 
2. double-click on "Home"
3. drag a postscript file (from the icon view in nautilus) containing a
"+" character in the name into the awaiting ggv window.
4. Error occures.

Expected Results:

If both the operating system and nautilus seem to handle the file name
without any errors, why would drag and drop not work?  It is a simple
drag and drop of a file name to an open application.

How often does this happen?

when the filename contails a "+".
If I rename the file and take out any "+" symbols the drag and drop
operation works.

Additional Information:

running garnome-0.12.0, debian sid, gcc-3.1 and produced the ps file by
printing to file from galeon.
