It works this way on my old desktop running Debian Lenny and Gnome 2.22
also on my laptop on Ubuntu 14.04..

but not on my new Debian Stretch with Gnome 3.22. Here, there is no way 
I can drag and drop something that will remain on the desk, nor can I 
copy and paste ; I can just create files in my desktop directory, where 
I can just have files, no app. I surely can have text files or pdf files 
that will launch either Libreoffice or evince... and I could possibly 
put there a few sim links to apps, but this is far from being quick and 
easy as it used to be with gnome 2
