You can't move multiple icons on desktop as it says in Xfce 4.6 Tour.
Then the tour is incorrect. Can you identify where in the tour it says this? Jerome, any ideas?
"Improved desktop experience with Xfdesktop [...]With Xfce 4.6, the Xfdesktop manager finally implements this feature: you can select multiple icons, >>move them<<, remove them, etcetera..."
Sorry again... I just fixed this in the SVN of the website, someone needs to force the update of the website now. I'll email the translators to get them fix the translations.
Still isnt fixed cant move multiple file icons on desktop Can move one but multiple cant

This bug is still present in XFCE 4.8.
In XFCE 4.8.0, Xubuntu 11.04: When selecting several items on the desktop using the "rubber band" feature, and then dragging them, only 1 item is dragged.
Created attachment 3978 Modified xfdesktop_icon_view_drag_drop to allow all selected files to drag and drop.
Code looks fine.
