I can confirm this bug with touch screen panel. (mouse is ok, trackpad ok)

Installed touchscreen module on an Asus EeePC 901. All is working like a charm, UNR with its big icons, scrollbar to the right, categories buttons is the perfect touch screen experience, astonishing, but this bug renders the whole thing quite useless and mostly annoying.

What I really don't get is why on earth should we drag the icons? To add a favorite there is already a favorite button. The only place we can drag them to is Favorites, no rearranging or changing categories... This for me is quite useless.
There should at least be, in gconf-editor, an option to disable the dragging, in my opinion.

If this was Off Topic, sorry.

Can anyone tell me if the proposed patch works, how can it be applied, and to what?
Do I need to download the sources of nblauncher (from where?) to my 901, apply the patch (to what file?) and compile it? Thanks for any help you may give.
