Description
I'd like to see some improvements in dragging support:
* Allow alt-tab (switch active window) while dragging
* Allow drag an attachment from Thunderbird to nautilus
* Allow drag files from Archive manager to nautilus
* Allow drag a picture from nautilus into Open Office
* Focus/raise a window on drop (mouse-up) instead of drag (mouse-down)
* Make it easier to drop files in a full nautilus window to copy/move (for example: popup drop target in bottom while dragging)
Attachments

Aaah yes! Especially the dragging of icons etc. during alt + tab. Icon drag support across the Compiz cube already seems to work very well for me, so perhaps adding alt+tab capability wouldn't be too difficult.

closely related to first item:
* allow to switch workspace with keyboard while dragging (files&windows), not possible with metacity

"Allow drag files from Archive manager to nautilus" never had a problem doing that, at least on hardy.
I'd like to see the window order not change while dragging. It's impossible to drag a file from a maximized window in the background, to a window in front

+1! I can't understand why it's not implemented yet :s
