SOLVED Thunar: Cannot drag a file from the desktop to the file manager
When I try this, the file icon merely rubber-bands back to where it was on the desktop. Furthermore, trying the reverse (from Thunar to desktop) ends up with a copy of the file being made, not a file move being enacted.
Can anyone confirm this behavior before I log a bug?

At first I thought it wasn't, but some further digging reveals that indeed the two might be related. Dragging to thunar may be a caching problem. I'm applying the patch and seeing if this resolves the issue.

The patch did not fix the problem. Still cannot drag to thunar, still copies to desktop - not moves. In fact, the caching issue mentioned in that other thread is still active!

Well, the problem is with xfdesktop, version 4.12.1-1. By downgrading to 4.12.0-1 the expected behaviour occurs. Time to raise a bug report.

Updates to xfdesktop and thunar have resolved this issue.
