Public bug reported:
The icons in the new 17.10 dash side-bar can not be re-arranged. You
can left-click and drag them sideways and then vertically to a new
position, but when you un-click the icon snaps back to it's original
position.
In Ubuntu 11.10 this apparently worked in gnome-shell: There are
instructions and a short video animation here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/87629/how-to-drag-and-move-icons-in-
the-gnome-shell-favourites-bar
That animation shows the other icons moving out of the way so that the
one being dragged has a place to land. But in Ubuntu 17.10 the other
icons don't move at all. Even dragging to empty space below all
existing icons does not work (the dragged icon still snaps back).
