When you move files, and will be overwritting, xffm will query for
option:
1.overwrite- normal behaviour
2.wastebasket- move files to be overwritten to wastebasket (so they
won't be lost)
3.cancel

Also, move is shift-drag, copy is contrl-drag, and drag without modifyer
can be copy or move according to whether "options->copy on drag"
(shift+cntl+C) is set in the main menu.
