Re: [Usability]Question: Direct manipulation & panels

[MArk Finlay <linuxexpert eircom net>]

I think that the issue is not where it is located by default - more that
it needs to be made more flexible and portable. Personally i dont use
the icon at all so i'd prefer to have it in start-here: - we should be
able to copy it to the panel or start here and be able to drag and drop
files to either new link.
