Description Mildred 2008-04-11 22:24:07 UTC
Hi,

Often I want to drag&drop a link from my web browser (firefox in this case) in a nautilus window to download a link. And, often, my browser window is maximized. 

So when I generally click on the link to move it to the nautilus, the nautilus window disappears behind the browser window.

My suggestion would be to keep the window we click on where it is (and not raise it) until the mouse up event is met. So if someone click on a link (w/o releasing the mouse button) he will be able to move it to another window that was on the front easily.

At least let it be a hidden settings in gconf.
