Description Eugenia Loli-Queru 2004-05-21 07:44:04 UTC 
This bug is a multi-bug report, they are all related so I thought I put them 
together.

Bug 1. Copy a file from a Nautilus window and paste it on the desktop using 
the context menu. The file is getting pasted NOT where you placed your mouse 
cursor, but on the lower left of the monitor. This happens for 
either "Arranged" icons or not, but the behavior is not the same if you d-n-d 
a file (d-n-d places the icon where your cursor asks it to). The behavior 
should be the same.

Bug 2. Copy a file from the desktop. Move that file to Trash. Now try 
to "Paste" on the desktop. The "Paste" command is NOT greyed out, but it 
doesn't paste anything because the file is deleted. Either support pasting 
from files from the trash, or grey out the "Paste" on the context menu.
