 Replying to [comment:1 rransom]:
 > I can't reproduce this with TBB for Linux.  I tried dragging the image
 over TBB-Firefox, Nautilus, and Emacs (GNU Emacs with the Lucid
 interface), and dropping the image on TBB-Firefox, and didn't see any DNS
 or HTTP traffic.

 OS: Ubuntu 11.10, with all updates installed.
 Tor Browser Bundle was installed by unpacking to a new clean folder. And I
 have verified the signature.
 32-bit version of everything.

 And no, merely beginning to drag the image makes it send the DNS and HTTP
 request, before I get to drag it anywhere or drop it.
