-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I like it, but what about non-file clipboard things? What if I copy a bit of text? I like the idea of having the text/file icon flash once or twice. For files, Nautilus could highlight it in a different color as the flashing. If flashing is going to be used for text, I don't think that this should be used for files, because consistency is really important here.
