With the update I received today (libcairo2*) the behaviour I described earlier disappeared. It is now possible to place icons on both screens/ desktops.
On top of that this update also gave me a staggering speed increase! Hence, I think this bug report can be closed, the issue is solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316090 Title: Unable to drop/ place files and links on second screen in dual screen set up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1316090/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
