Cool beans. With GNUstep CVS and GWorkspace CVS this problem has indeed
disappeared!

I must say GW from CVS is quite nice, great work!

However, while I have your attention, there are two things that bug me about
GWorkspace. First, when I click and drag on an icon it doesn't do dnd but
rather starts the rubber-banding -- that makes it annoying when you are trying
to do something quickly (there is some kind of delay logic in there that is
weird.) Second, the rubber-banding -- on my machine this is super slow and has
a tendency to leap all over the place before coming back to my mouse pointer.
Looking at the code these two things appear to be inter-related. IconsPanel
-mouseDragged: and mouseDown: are doing a lot of interesting things and I can't
quite make them out...

Thanks for your hard work!

Ciao,

Michael
