Why not just move the icon if it gets moved?  Think about it for a moment, 
if someone drags a file by its icon to move it, then the icon should move 
and leave a gap.  This is simple and does not make people think that have 
done something bad by moving a file and then it going dim!

For a copy the icon should just remain and a new one float with the mouse 
movement.

Hope this helps.
