Confirmed on Ubuntu 7.04 final (Gnome)

Procedure:
1) Open 2 windows of Nautilus
2) Initiate 'drag and drop' in one window (click-hold an item (e.g., file), move the mouse)
3) Press alt+tab

Result: The alt+tab won't work

The usefulness of alt+tab while doing DnD is that it is a lot faster than binging the intended window by hovering its entry on the task bar.

In Windows XP, we can use alt+tab while doing 'drag and drop'.
