Rolled back gtk+ to 2.18 and recompiled claws-mail, and I'm back in business. It's definitely related to 2.20
Bug is not only with VNC. It's present on my laptop with GNOME. Drag-n-drop works only once after restarting xorg, then drag-n-drop not work. It's present in LXDE to.
Add some: Drag-n-drop not work between file-managers (tested: nautilus, pcmanfm) & applications (tested: audacious2, audacious2-gtk, smplayer). Update gtk+ on 2.21.7 version is not solve problem.
Any updates regarding this?
