1) cut/copy/paste is an _universal_ paradigm: it can be stupid,
pickup/drop can be better, but you have to force people to re learning a
metaphor. BTW you have to use pickup/drop in all GNOME/GTK+ applications
:-)

2) You don't need 'drop' item in files' popup menus. You can place it
only in directories' popups. -1

3) Same as 2) in cut/copy/paste for 'paste' item. This should not be
showed when right click on 'normal' files (icons), but just rgclick on
directories icons and window background (i hope this is clear:-))
