If you do i/o while the drag is happening you'll get the dialog while
you're dragging. This is bad in itself, for instance you can't type or
click on it without releasing the drag, and then there are potential
risks for stuck pointer grabs with modal dialogs.

NautilusFile is the nautilus async machinery. Take a look at for
instance docs/nautilus-io.txt and docs/nautilus-internals.pdf for some
details how it works. You can't really use this in a sync way (except if
you're lucky and the info was already cached).
