User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080208 Fedora/2.0.0.12-1.fc7 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: 

%> rpm -q Thunar
Thunar-0.9.0-2.fc7

When i try to restore a file by selecting it and dragging it onto the desktop, nothing happens. I expect that this is a bug, since the logical thing Thunar should do, is to mv the file from the recycle bin to the Desktop. 

If i move in the same way from the recycle bin to an open Thunar browser window, it works as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.move file from recycle bin to desktop

FYI, it does work in the opposite direction though. I can move something from the desktop into an open recyle bin window.

Still valid in 1.3.0
I've noticed that dragging files onto the desktop copy it instead of moving it.

Its something the desktop should handle, thunar only provides the uris.

Always move files from the trash

This patch will make it so that xfdesktop always moves files rather than copies when pulling from the trash.
