I tried to reproduce the problem by dragging a gif image on a web page
displayed in the default web browser. I tried that on a Live CD for
OpenSolaris, Kubuntu 9.10 (KDE) and Fedora 12 (Gnome). I was not able to
reproduce the problem. 

Mouse button 1 (left) + Ctrl is a copy operation where MB1 with no
modifier is a move. When releasing Ctrl while dragging, the operation
changes from a copy to a move. In the Nautilus file browser, you see the
icon changing from a 'copy' (represented by the +) to a
'move' (represented by the arrow). You should see something similar in a
KDE file browser. This would be a sanity check for basic move/copy drag
& drop operations.

There may be desktop settings that are altering the way this works, and
applications may redefine those default behaviours. If the code crashes
while changing from copy to move, the operation is aborted. Try with the
Live CD closest to your environment as a reference point.
