Frederik Elwert (frederik-elwert) wrote : Unity Launcher: Add possibility to cancel drag and drop

Within most GTK applications, it is possible to cancel a drag and drop operation using "Esc". This is especially helpful when one accidentally triggers drag and drop, and wants to cancel it without having any effect of the operation.

Steps to reproduce:

* Drag an item from the launcher
* Hit "Esc"

Expected result:

* The item should go back to its original position, possibly indicated by an animation of the item being released from the pointer and sliding back.

Observed result:

* The item does not respond to "Esc" being hit, it is not possible to cancel the drag and drop operation.
