This is more related to the "Confirm" (file(s)) delete dialog. I wish it was STACKED above all windows all the time, its troubling having to go search for it whenever another window gains focus.
The current efm icon_efm/dnd copy/move/ask behavior where you move a file, and you lose sight of the original file's location and its name is also troubling. Across most desktop environments, the file in question, upon initial move, always stays in place (might go from opaque to semi transparent) but always stays in place, while in transition, the new copy is visible (and so is the file in question). Upon mouse release, the file (if the physics allow) will change location. Currently when you move a file from one area of the desktop to the other, the icon moves, you get a small overlay (icon) representing (copy, ask, move), but the file is no longer visible where it was initially picked up. And if you want to find out what what file you are dragging you have to look for your mouse pointer. With the current lack of compositing effects this behavior is a bit ugly. Salut!
