Okay, you are moving icons around on the desktop but not actually
moving files to different directories. That's where I was getting
confused. :)

XFCE didn't even have the concept of "a desktop" with icons until the
latest release, IIRC... its lack of a desktop was always one of its
somewhat unique characteristics, but with the latest release it's
become more of a full-featured desktop environment. So that aspect of
it is probably not very mature yet. I would expect the finer touches
such as moving multiple icons to come along in future versions.
