the usual "right-click->move" then drag to reqd place and drop does not work anymore ... i noticed this when installing arch with xfce today ... when dragging the clicked item the rest of the panel stays grayed out and no drop indicator is shown i tried clearing all config files etc etc but to no avail upon discussing this in the irc channel (#xcfe on freenode) i was told it is also happening on fedora i have a thinkpad t500 with the open source ati driver using kms, if that helps any thanks :)
I have also catched this bug, there is like a 1px area where the Move drag works at the bottom or top of the panel.
Indeed, it looks like a regression in gtk+. Filed a bug for it: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634765

Fixed in 8504102. The panel is not insensitive anymore, more like a work-around, but I have the feeling this won't be fixed in Gtk anytime soon...

Nick, for the 4.6 branch, this seems to work here - is there any obvious problem that you see? diff --git a/panel/panel.c b/panel/panel.c index fa0709b..5f9a787 100644 --- a/panel/panel.c +++ b/panel/panel.c @@ -811,7 +811,8 @@ _item_start_move (GtkWidget *item, if (!priv->edit_mode) { - panel_set_items_sensitive (p, FALSE); + /* Workaround http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6818 */ + /* panel_set_items_sensitive (p, FALSE); */ xfce_itembar_raise_event_window (XFCE_ITEMBAR (priv->itembar)); panel_block_autohide (p); }
We in 4.8, some plugins like the launcher and tasklist needed a work around too, because they accept dnd (which was previously bypassed when they were insensitive).
Well, I don't notice any problem with rearranging items in the task list, so perhaps it's fine (or I just got lucky).
I do rearrange without any problems. Running Xfce 4.8
