GNOME Bounty

GNOME has a number of open source bounties available for completion, ranging in difficulty and payout. The following project is worth $300:

Drag and Drop between Gnome and Firefox

Currently dragging and dropping back and forth between nautilus and firefox is very problematic. Bookmarks and copying actions are easily confused with surprising results.

What we’d like to see: Dragging a bookmark .desktop file to Firefox should open the url the bookmark file contains, not the bookmark file itself. Dragging an http: uri from firefox to the desktop should ask you if you prefer to download the file or make a bookmark point to the location. If a desktop bookmark is created the resulting .desktop file should specify a hyperlink icon (or possibly use the shortcut icon if the link points to an html page).
