Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu/Unity better.

I can confirm that when using the package unity on Ubuntu 11.04 using the steps provided by Marc that I can reproduce the bug. Therefore I have set this bug to confirmed.

For me the whole desktop freezes for ~10 secs. To reproduce this just drag a image into the unity launcher (I used the unity logo at the top left of this page), then unity will freeze and then after a period of time unfreeze with no change to the desktop.

I hope that this bug can be fixed soon.
