No. That ask is for ask-drag. I.e. alt-drag or middle-button-drag in
nautilus. Supporting ask-drag from mozilla would be nice too, then you
could use alt-drag if you know about that.

This is how i would like it to ideally work:

DnD from a nautilus webdav http: folder should act like any other remote
folder DnD in nautilus.

Alt-Drag from mozilla should use GDK_ACTION_ASK, get a '?' pointer and
dropping should bring up the ask menu with a copy/link choice. 

Ctrl-Drag from mozilla should use GDK_ACTION_COPY, get a '+' pointer and
dropping should copy the file.

Ctrl-Shift-Drag from mozilla should use GDK_ACTION_LINK, get a link
pointer and dropping should create a desktop file called "Link to
$basename(uri)" (with handling of duplicate names like the rest of
nautilus). The icon specified in the desktop file should be
"gnome-fs-bookmark.png".

normal drops from mozilla should bring up a small dialog asking if you
want to download the file or create a link to it.

And all this should work in both the icon and list views.

Yeah.

I'm not sure if they are referencing some specific file or just the
typical icon used for hyperlinks/shortcuts. Anyway, the
gnome-fs-bookmark icon looks fine.
