[Bug 79289] Re: drag&drop moving of message does not work

[Seth]

Rimas,

nope I just hovered about a full minute (I'm on the phone waiting :))
nothing changed. Thanks for confirming that you have it working. Do you 
mind if I braindump anything special about my machine/config?

Here goes
- it is KDE 3.5.8
- Linux sehe-desktop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 
2007 i686 GNU/Linux
- Thunderbird version 2.0.0.6 (20071022)

also.... (drumroll) I just remembered I have a potentially unusual X 
config, in that kdmrc contains (among others :))

StaticServers=:0,:1

This simply means, that I don't have to manually launch a second X 
terminal. I use both terminals on a single display, switching with 
Ctrl-Alt-F7/F8/F9 etc - no heroics on driver level.

As it happens, :1 is "my" desktop (:0 being my wife's :)). Now it 
shouldn't, but it might influence the inner workings of drag and drop - 
being X-based IPC? I know, this is pure guesswork [of the most construed 
kind], but let me know if something resonates.

Maybe you can see how comparable situations work on your Gutsy box? In 
the mean time, I'll compare running on :0 to :1, and perhaps running 
'just' thunderbird as the sole client to a fresh X/Xnest/Xnvc.

Hope to be back in touch,
Regards,
Seth
