That popup could still be a bit more clever, for instance when dragging
from an ftp dir where you don't have write permissions, it's pretty
obvious that the only choice is "copy". Presenting the user with two
other options that he can't use is confusing, the popup has no reason to
appear. A simple rule could be to copy when dropping to a different
filesystem, move otherwise.
