Drag and drop is no longer working with Trash Applet in Hoary

For what it's worth, I've experienced _exactly_ these same symptoms. 
Jason, are you going to file a bug about it?

Also, I've had probs with evolution.  Try created a new user, then 
running evolution.  Do you ever get past the "new account gui"? My 
evolution locks up when pressing the "forward" button after selecting a 
time zone.

However, on another machine where I'd been running evolution _before_ 
updating to hoary, didn't have the problem.

Strange!
